Researchers have successfully transplanted human brain cells into mouse brains and watched how they grow to form networks. The technique could be used to study a range of neurological conditions, the researchers report.
A new study reports the dementia associated with Down syndrome involves defects in GSAP, which also malfunctions in Alzheimer's disease.
According to a new study, the cerebral cortex is thicker on average in those with Down syndrome, although the volume of the cortex is lower.
Researchers report extra copies of genes on chromosome 21 increase Alzheimer's like pathology and cognitive impairment in mouse models of Down syndrome. The findings provide insight into early onset Alzheimer's in those with Down syndrome.
A gene variant responsible for vascular damage to the brain is a promising new target for drug therapy to fight...
GM-CSF/sargramostim, a drug that improved memory in Alzheimer's patients during a phase II clinical trial, also appears to improve cognitive function in older adults and those with Down syndrome.
Researchers have found that some second-trimester markers for Down’s syndrome detected by ultrasound increase the risk of giving birth to a child with the condition. The findings could help address the risks pregnant women face in having a child with Down’s syndrome.
Researchers discover a link between white matter health and the presence of dementia in adults with Down syndrome.
A new study claims researchers have identified a new cause for some cases of autism and other intellectual disabilities.
In one of the first studies of its kind, UCLA researchers used a unique brain scan to assess the levels...
According to a new study, over-expression of the Usp16 gene could be a major contributor to neurological deficits associated with Down syndrome.
Researchers have identified alterations in neural circuitry that impact cerebral cortex pathology. These alterations could be key to cognitive deficits in Down syndrome.
