This work has implications for the increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in adults with Down syndrome, as the sharper decline in cholinergic integrity may be associated with the progression of neurodegeneration.

Using the novel cholinergic radiotracer [18F]-FEOBV, we see that in a cross-sectional study of adults with Down syndrome aged 19-50, that while [18F]-FEOBV uptake is higher in DS than in controls, it also shows a steeper age associated decline than controls.
