NCT ID NCT05231798

First seen May 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at how certain brain cells (cholinergic neurons) change with age in adults with Down syndrome, and how that relates to Alzheimer's disease risk. Researchers will use brain scans and EEGs to measure these changes in 30 adults aged 18-55 who do not have dementia. The goal is to better understand who might benefit from future treatments, but no treatment is given in this study.
