A recent study published by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital describes how boosting norepinephrine (NE) signaling in the brains of mice genetically engineered to mimic Down syndrome may improve the cognitive development of individuals with the genetic disorder. According to the researchers, the finding could introduce the possibility of developing drugs that enhance NE signaling, giving the Down syndrome community hope for a way to help children with Down’s collect and modulate information.
