We explore what's behind the constant need for motion and the uncontrollable urges which typify Tourette's Syndrome. Guests include Dr. Oliver Sacks, the internationally renowned author and neurologist, Dr. Joseph Jankovic of the Baylor College of Medicine and Dr. James Leckman of Yale University. Plus, Michael Wolff, the jazz pianist with Tourette's Syndrome who was the inspiration for the upcoming film Gregory Hines film, The Tic Code.
