Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
