I've been trying to understand this one. It's very interesting to me but I'm having trouble understanding the motor cortex just to begin with. It's a bit hard not having the full article, so maybe I should wait till I get to read that.

Postural control systems "Corrective movements are needed to keep the centre of gravity within the base of support. To achieve this goal, co-ordination of the sensory, skeletal muscle and central nervous systems is needed."
I'm guessing it's an issue of balance? Here is some info on postural control:

I think this supports the notion that motor deficits can be an issue in some children with TS?
