„Raportul stiintific al lui Seignot din 1961 despre un caz de sindrom Tourette tratat eficient cu Haloperidol a promovat o„ schimbare de paradigma ”ulterioara de la teoriile psihanalitice la teoriile genetice si neurochimice actuale privind etiologia si patogeneza sindromului Tourette. Observatia lui Seignot a fost reprodusa in intreaga lume, incepand cu raportul de caz al lui Caprini si Melotti, care a fost publicat in acelasi an.
