Research on mice may point to a partial cure for Down’s symdrome.
“The drug [l-DOPS] was able to restore contextual learning in the mouse model,” Salehi said. “Treating [Down syndrome] with norepinephrine could be a new strategy to help improve the condition.”
“Even in presence of degeneration the authors showed you can still rescue the function in the brain,” said Lynn Nadel, a psychologist at the University of Arizona who studies Down syndrome and was not involved in this study. “Hopefully, this can lead to some sorts of early life interventions in humans.”
Assuming that the loonies don’t succeed in utterly destroying science education, I mean.
