Neuroanatomy of Down’s Syndrome: A High-Resolution MRI Study
Abstract
Objective Down's syndrome, the most common genetic cause of mental retardation, results in characteristic physical and neuropsychological findings, including mental retardation and deficits in language and memory. This study was undertaken to confirm previously reported abnormalities of regional brain volumes in Down's syndrome by using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), determine whether these volumetric abnormalities are present from childhood, and consider the relationship between neuroanatomic abnormalities and the cognitive profile of Down's syndrome. Method Sixteen children and young adults with Down's syndrome (age range=5-23 years) were matched for age and gender with 15 normal comparison subjects. High-resolution MRI scans were quantitatively analyzed for measures of overall and regional brain volumes and by tissue composition. Results Consistent with prior imaging studies, subjects with Down's syndrome had smaller overall brain volumes, with disproportionately smaller cerebellar volumes and relatively larger subcortical gray matter volumes. Also noted was relative preservation of parietal lobe gray and temporal lobe white matter in subjects with Down's syndrome versus comparison subjects. No abnormalities in pattern of brain asymmetry were noted in Down's syndrome subjects. Conclusions The results largely confirm findings of previous studies with respect to overall patterns of brain volumes in Down's syndrome and also provide new evidence for abnormal…

“These cognitive and brain structure deficits emerge as early as 6 months of age and progress to have substantial impacts on daily life, as well as academic and occupational outcomes5–7.”

In the citing paper
“Some areas of the cortex, especially those in the temporal and frontal lobes, exhibit up to 50% fewer cells in individuals with DS than in healthy individuals, whereas other areas, such as the parietal lobe, are largely preserved7.”

“Cognitive impairment is a hallmark DS phenotype affecting all individuals with Ts21 (Antonarakis et al., 2020) with regions of disproportionately small brain volume including the cerebrum, cerebellum, and hippocampus (Aylward et al., 1999; Kesslak et al., 1994; Pinter et al., 2001; Raz et al., 1995; Weis et al., 1991).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
