Measurement of synaptic density in Down syndrome using PET imaging : a pilot study

2023-11-09

Abstract excerpt

Down syndrome (DS) is the most prevalent genetic cause of intellectual disability, resulting from trisomy 21. Recently, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has been used to image synapses in-vivo. The motivation for this pilot study was to investigate whether synaptic density in low functioning adults with DS can be evaluated using the PET radiotracer [ 11 C]UCB-J. Data were acquired from low functioning ad...
