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.

An international team of researchers has found that people who carry the gene for a rare genetic problem known as Gaucher disease have at least five times the normal risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The finding suggests that the gene is one cause of the disease, but indicates that other factors must be operating as well, because not all patients who have Gaucher also develop Parkinson’s.
