Highlights      ‐ Tics resemble voluntary actions but appear exaggerated and out of context      ‐ Tics can be voluntarily inhibited but the mechanisms behind this remain  unclear     ‐ Resting state fMRI was employed to elucidate the neural correlates of tic  inhibition    ‐ The left inferior frontal gyrus was identified as a key‐area in tic inhibition      ‐ Premonitory urges were unrelated to the neural signature of tic inhibition
