About

Christos Ganos is a leading clinical neuroscientist whose research focuses on the neurobiology of movement disorders, particularly tic disorders and functional neurological disorders. His major contributions center on unraveling the mechanisms of inhibitory control deficits in tic disorders, using innovative behavioral paradigms like the Object-Hit-and-Avoid task to demonstrate how children with tics struggle with motor inhibition in dynamic environments. This work, though early in citation impact (3 citations), has opened new avenues for understanding the cognitive underpinnings of tic expression. Ganos has also made seminal contributions to the phenomenology and pathophysiology of functional movement disorders, bridging gaps between neurology and psychiatry. With a publication record that includes highly cited reviews and original studies in top-tier journals, his work has been instrumental in shaping modern diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches for tic disorders. Ganos is recognized as a key opinion leader in the field, frequently invited to lecture internationally, and his research continues to influence both clinical practice and basic neuroscience, making him a vital voice for students and researchers exploring the intersection of movement, cognition, and brain disorders.
