Down syndrome identified in 2600-year-old infants through their DNA
Between 770 and 550 B.C.E., in a hilltop village called Alto de la Cruz near the modern Spanish city of Navarro, one infant girl received an unusual burial: Although people in Iron Age Spain usually cremated their dead, the girl was laid to rest beneath the floors of an elaborately decorated dwelling, with grave goods including bronze rings, a shell from the Mediterranean, and three whole sheep or goats.
And she wasn’t alone: Archaeologists working in the 1940s and ’50s found dozens of infants buried below the floors in Alto de la Cruz and another nearby village built more than 2600 years ago. “The main questio...

PET links tau pathology to speech changes in unimpaired patients
In this study, the group culled data from 237 cognitively unimpaired adults enrolled in the Framingham Heart Study (age range, 32-75). Audio recordings of all FHS neuropsychological assessments began in 2005, while a subset of patients in the study underwent structural MRI, amyloid PET, and tau PET imaging.
The researchers first analyzed the recordings and quantified patient speech patterns during a story recall task via five markers: utterance time, between-utterance pause time, number of between-utterance pauses, speech rate, and percentage of unique words. They then examined associations between these speech markers an...

Lantheus to supply PET tracer in large U.S. trial
Lantheus Medical Imaging will supply its experimental F-18-labeled PET imaging radiotracer MK-6240 for a large U.S. trial to investigate differences in brain pathology in people with varying types of dementia.
The National Institute on Aging-led study is named the Consortium for Clarity in ADRD Research Through Imaging (CLARiTI) trial and will involve all 37 Alzheimer’s disease research centers in the U.S. The five-year trial will recruit 2,000 subjects and collect their imaging and blood-based biomarker data to generate etiologic profiles for cases of mixed dementia, the company said.
F-18 MK-6240 radiotracer targets ...

PET links impaired sleep in Alzheimer ’s disease patients to tau protein
PET scans have revealed specific brain pathology that may drive sleep disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease patients, according to a study published February 8 in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences.
In a large group, abnormal nighttime behaviors were linked with greater baseline tau on F-18 flortaucipir PET scans, with the finding offering a potential new target for delaying cognitive decline, noted lead author Ryan Kim, of Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, and colleagues.
“Our results help identify high-risk individuals who could benefit from sleep-related interventions aimed to delay cognitive decline and [A...
