We hope you all enjoyed World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) as much as we did!
We had a great time at the WDSD event @TheCrick where we spoke about our new study (ARC-DS) looking at testing for Alzheimer's Disease in Down Syndrome using a mobile app.

1/ New publication from @LonDownS! 🧠 We delve into the relationship between mismatch negativity (MMN) and cognitive abilities in adults with #DownSyndrome. Reduced MMN amplitudes may indicate cognitive decline. Full article in Cerebral Cortex: doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhad2…

3/ Our study indicates that MMN may serve as a valuable index of cognitive abilities in DS, and future research may explore the potential impact of Alzheimer’s disease on MMN in people with DS. #Alzheimers #cognitiveability

4/ Take a look at our findings visualized. Understanding MMN could lead to improved detection and understanding of cognitive decline in adults with DS. #ScienceTwitter
