Whether it’s on paper, screen or audio, there are more ways than ever to enjoy a good book. But do different formats engage the brain in the same way?

Turning pages, swiping screens, and hitting play: Is reading always the same to our brain?

Just wrapped up our first full deep-dive series (neurosutton.wixsite.com/brains-and-t...) exploring how Trisomy 21 alters brain development, from the earliest genetic changes to how neurons connect and interact. 🧠
Advanced neuro
Advanced neuroscience discussion of brain development in Down syndrome. Maintaining the spirit of accessibility, but challenging the reader in multiple current research concepts from neuroimaging, inducible pluripotent stem cells, therapeutics, graph theory, fMRI, cell lines, model systems, signalling pathways, and more.

Exciting news in Down syndrome research! Two preprints out (links below). We uncover a K⁺ channel defect during development & show elevated #GABA signaling is circuit-specific - offering insight into failed #Roche GABA trial. Targeting specific K⁺ channels & GABA circuits will be beneficial in DS

A new @nathumbehav.nature.com study from @changlabucsf.bsky.social identifies a key role for the middle precentral gyrus in coordinating the muscle movements required to speak, challenging the longstanding view that Broca's area controls this process: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
