Mashup Score: 1DSCAM gene triplication causes excessive GABAergic synapses in the neocortex in Down syndrome mouse models - 1 year(s) ago
Developmental brain disorders are a hallmark of Down syndrome, but what cellular and molecular mechanisms underlie these disorders? This study shows that the excessive number of inhibitory synapses in the neocortex of Down syndrome mouse models is caused by increased levels of Down Syndrome Cell Adhesion Molecule (DSCAM).

Mashup Score: 21Altered spontaneous brain activity in Down syndrome and its relation with cognitive outcome - Scientific Reports - 1 year(s) ago
Although Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of neurodevelopmental delay, few neuroimaging studies have explored this population. This investigation aimed to study whole-brain resting-state spontaneous brain activity using fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) strategies to find differences in spontaneous brain activity among…

Mashup Score: 4Down syndrome research should look at the whole cell, not just the extra chromosome, scientists say - 1 year(s) ago
Research on understanding the effect of extra chromosomes for conditions like Down syndrome typically involves examining what genes play a role in the symptoms of these conditions. However, researchers from Germany and the U.S. propose a new way of looking at these conditions, suggesting that when an extra chromosome is present, the impact on the cell depends less on which chromosome is…
