Abstract excerpt
S100 beta, a calcium-binding brain specific protein, may affect both brain development and hippocampal long-term potentiation. S100 beta levels are elevated in Down syndrome (DS), and the gene for S100 beta is located on chromosome 21, which is duplicated in DS. To test the hypothesis that, elevated levels of S100 beta cause behavioral alterations in a mammalian system, 3 transgenic mouse lines with multiple...
