New research suggests a missing brain molecule may hold the key to understanding – and potentially treating – the faulty neural circuits seen in Down syndrome. Restoring the molecule, called ...

Down syndrome affects around one in 640 children born in the US every year, and is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability. About 15% of Downs cases are due to the presence of an ...

Faulty brain circuits seen in Down syndrome may be caused by the lack of a particular molecule essential for the development and function of the nervous system, new research suggests. Restoring the ...

USC researchers have uncovered a hidden driver behind the early and severe onset of Alzheimer's in people with Down syndrome: iron overload in the brain. Their study revealed that individuals with ...

A missing brain molecule may be disrupting neural wiring in Down syndrome, according to new research. Replacing it in adult mice rewired brain circuits and improved brain flexibility, challenging the ...
