That is my son now. So did CM help. Is he able to speak more than one word? Can he play games?

Is it dangerous not to treat? Gould's research showed that

below a certain neuron count the brain literally goes into safe mode and quits making neurons. So if the person with DS does not have a preset minimum their brain will not help them. Can treating early reverse or postpone the early decline? Is it a numbers game? If one has more neurons to lose, maybe symptoms of decline can be postponed.

As for language, and speaking more than one word sentences, Piracetam helped my son greatly...2 weeks after starting it at age 2.5 he was talking in 3 word sentences (only one word before)

Then last summer when we started Namenda (discontinued Piracetam) at age 13.5, wow...the sentence structure and complexity of the words used is still amazing us!

Boy, can he speak more than one word!! And definitely play games. Has even expressed himself with choosing a girlfriend! :-)

We've met with , et al, a number of times, and Neal has got to be one of the most polite young men with DS that I've met in a long time. Holds conversations. Has a wonderful sense of humor too.

International Nutrition has Piracetam, and it doesn't require a prescription anymore.

Namenda still has to be prescribed...any pharmacy has it and our insurance is paying for it!

Dr.Leightman wrote the prescription for it, but other doctors write it too...he wanted to wait till after Puberty for the Namenda.

Also, FYI the Piracetam can exacerbate autistic tendencies. So if there are any, consider that they may get worse with Piracetam.

On the issue of the prevalence of Alzheimer-type dementia among people living

with Down syndrome (something that is quite different from the incidence of

Alzheimer-like neuropathology in people with Down syndrome who have passed

away), Len Leshin's December 2007 'Abstract of the month' helpfully highlights a

large Dutch study of dementia -

http://www.ds-health.com/abst/a0712.htm

This is a large and recent study that uses modern diagnostic criteria - all

worth bearing in mind when contrasting with older studies. When carefully

assessed, the prevalence of Alzheimer-type dementia among modern populations is

not as high as once thought.

There is no evidence of general 'cognitive decline' as a result of having Down

syndrome. A decline in IQ scores is sometimes misinterpreted to indicate a

decline in abilities. This is incorrect - see the following for more detail on

this confusion -

http://www.down-syndrome.org/information/development/overview/?page=4

All modern research evidence suggests that with appropriate opportunities people

with Down syndrome can continue to develop and learn throughout childhood,

adolescence and through their adult years.

My sister is approaching 40, is still acquiring new skills and shows no sign of

decline in function. She is pretty typical of her generation.

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes,

was talking about this with me, and though your statement has been my

thought and hope, she's got some documentation that states different.

Again, it's my hope and that's why we're on the protocol.

Though they may have clinical signs of AD in their brains, not all have clinical

symptoms of decline.

According to Dr. Chicoine here at the Adult  Clinic, who sees 3000 patients and

maintains a data base, the incident of AD in the DS population is the same as

the gen public.

I wonder if there are any contradictions in doing both Piractem and Prozac at the same time? Do you have the website to International Nutrition? Also, my son is 8 and about 70 pounds.

Don't know.

I still need a little more info on the Prozac...we had the same results reported with the Piracetam...

International Nutrition's site:

http://www.nutrivene.com/

Definately consult a doctor before begining any protocol, and if you don't have one locally that is open minded, I recommend Dr. Leightman, he does clinics all over the US.

Thanks Tina!! Lori, he is capable of much more expression but that came in the last 6 -8 months (after 1 year on everything). He really did not use more than one word sentences before, except the memorized sentence "May I have more juice, please." But if he was constructing the sentence, he did not use more than one or two words. He is still unsure of syntax or sentence structure and he will throw out many words because he knows he needs to use them but they are random. One thing is everyone (in public) understands him now, articulation is better. He can order his own food, drink etc. The other big change if he is trying to tell you something he will elaborate to explain himself. He will give you details to get his point across. Word retrieval is still hard but getting better and better. From what describes her daughter

was talking better much sooner but that is why I say you have to compare them to themselves. For Neal, he is so much more verbally expressive.

s,

Can you elaborate on the effects of prozac on the brain other than

neurogenesis? I have read and heard that if you use prozac, you have

to be comfortable with the fact that it will produce changes, perhaps

permament, to the brain. What are these changes? Also, I have read

in books and on the internet that prozac fools the brain into

believing that there is plenty of seratonin and so it stops producing

seratonin, leading to a seratonin deficiency. Do these changes

happen at certain doses? We have talked about neurogenesis and side

effects, but we haven't addressed the other changes that prozac may

bring about.

He is 10 years old. So that is very different than 3. I started GB when he was 7 1/2 and then the rest when he was 8 1/2.

isn't on it now, just the Namenda. BUT he was on Piracetam from age 2.5 till age 13.5

When he first started it he was barely uttering one word here and there (remember he was only 2.5)...within 2 weeks he came into my bedroom with a Winnie the Pooh Puppet on his hand and said, "Pooh PuhPuh up dun"

(Pooh puppet up down) FOUR WORDS!? From one word to FOUR?

Then he was pretty regularly talking in 3 or 4 word sentences after that...articulation still really bad though at the time.

Other than that The difference was more noticable when he was OFF of it. We didn't realize before he was on it how long his 'processing' time was...we'd give him a command, he would stop, think about it, then 'do' it. Big delay between the request and the action. When he was on the Piracetam he had no 'lag' time.

About 3 months into it we were at a company picnic...busy hectic morning I thought Rick had given him the Piracetam, he thought I had given it to him...he didn't get any that day.

At the picnic we gave a soda can to throw into the trash can (he loved to throw trash away at that age) and he took the can, physically stopped, thought, THEN headed over to throw the can in the can. Rick and I looked at each other and said, 'Did you give him his Piracetam?" We knew immediately he was off of it....and always knew when we forgot it.

He learns faster (still not 'normal' speed) and comprehends better on Piracetam, and now Namenda.

BUT Piracetam can increase autistic stemming-like behaviors, and other sensory issues, so be careful if your kid has any of those traits.

Marsha, I wasn't blowing you off. I was trying to figure out what you are really asking. Let me give you the science behind DS and prozac. If you go to pubmed and put in words like Down syndrome dendrite, or brain development you will see the pattern that emerges is consistent that DS lose the normal development fairly early. I've included 3 abstracts here that begin to tell the story. The first is the fact that DS lose the normal branching of the neurons. Then that the DS brain has low BDNF. and the third is the importance of BDNF to the brain. Maybe these will help your understanding. On the Changing minds website I pulled out Wisneiwski's work on the DS brain but there are many other studies. For example, Dendritic atrophy in children with Down's syndrome Becker L E; Armstrong D L; Chan F ls of neurology, (1986 Oct) Vol. 20, No. 4, pp. 520-6. Journal code: 7707449. ISSN: 0364-5134.. English. Dendritic branching was evaluated in the visual cortex of 8 children with Down's syndrome and 10 controls, ranging in age from 4 months to 7 years and divided into infantile, late-infantile, and juvenile groups. Camera lucida drawings of Golgi-impregnated neurons were used for examining the following dendritic aspects: dendritic intersections as a function of distance from the cell body, point of maximum dendritic branching, number of branch orders, total number of branch segments, and total dendritic length.

The number of intersections and the total dendritic length were above normal in the infantile period (6 months old or less) and dropped steadily to significantly below normal in the juvenile group (older than 2 years). These reductions contrasted with expanding dendritic arborization in normal children. The results suggest that the dendritic tree atrophies in early childhood in Down's syndrome. In other words, the nerves should increase thir branching as the child develops and in the DS brain the branches steadily disappear. Frontal cortex BDNF levels correlate with working memory in an animal model of Down

syndrome Bimonte-, A.; Hunter, L.; , E.; Granholm, Ann-Charlotte E. Behavioural Brain Research (2003), 139(1-2), 47-57 CODEN: BBREDI; ISSN: 0166-4328. English. Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) develop most neuropathol. hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease early in life, including loss of cholinergic markers in the basal forebrain. Ts65Dn mice, an animal model of DS, perform poorly on tasks requiring spatial memory and also exhibit basal forebrain pathol. beginning around 6 mo of age. We evaluated memory as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) protein levels in basal forebrain, frontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum in Ts65Dn mice at the age when cholinergic degeneration is first observed, and compared values to normosomic controls.

Six-month-old Ts65Dn mice exhibited impairments in working and reference memory as assessed on a water radial-arm maze. The working memory deficit was related to the inability of Ts65Dn mice to successfully sustain performance as the working memory load increased. Coupled with cognitive performance deficiencies, Ts65Dn mice also exhibited lower frontal cortex BDNF protein levels than controls. Further, BDNF levels were neg. correlated with working memory errors during the latter portion of testing in Ts65Dn mice, thereby suggesting that lower BDNF protein levels in the frontal cortex may be associated with the observed working memory impairment. BDNF and 5-HT: a dynamic duo in age-related neuronal plasticity and neurodegenerative disorders Mark P. Mattson 1,2 , Stuart Maudsley 1 and Bronwen 1 1 Laboratory of Neurosciences, National Institute on Aging Intramural Research Program, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA 2 Department of Neuroscience, s Hopkins University School of

Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) are known to regulate synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis and neuronal survival in the adult brain. These two signals co-regulate one another such that 5-HT stimulates the expression of BDNF, and BDNF enhances the growth and survival of 5-HT neurons. Impaired 5-HT and BDNF signaling is central to depression and anxiety disorders, but could also play important roles in the pathogenesis of several age-related disorders, including insulin resistance syn- drome, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease. Enhancement of BDNF signaling may be a key mechan- ism whereby cognitive stimulation, exercise, dietary restriction and antidepressant drugs preserve brain function during aging. Behavioral and pharmacological manipulations that enhance 5-HT and BDNF

signaling could help promote healthy brain aging. Marsha Scheitlin <mscheitlin@...> wrote: s,Can you elaborate on the effects of prozac on the brain other than neurogenesis? I have read and heard that if you use prozac, you have to be comfortable with the fact that it will produce changes, perhaps permament, to the brain. What are these changes? Also, I have read in books and on the internet that prozac fools the brain into believing that there is plenty of seratonin and so it stops producing seratonin, leading to a seratonin deficiency. Do these changes happen at certain doses? We have talked about neurogenesis and side effects, but we haven't addressed the other changes that prozac may bring about.

I would really love to hear what your pediatrician

comes back with after reading the research. Thanks for

posting this!!

It's me again just giving my two cents worth....Prozac has been a huge success for us...I am 100% behind it....we started out slow...and when we do increase it is very slow...but we saw results the very next day.....it will either work or it won't but according to some very astoudt Dr.s in our city....anxiety is huge in our kids with DS and Autism.

I have. :-) I want to get her opinion first and let her read the research. I have a lot of respect for her- she is very smart, so I want to hear whatever she says. Even if it's all negative, I know I will be going into things fully armed that way. It will only serve to help me understand and deal with the neurologist in a more informed way.She will be the first to admit if she doesn't understand all she is reading- that will make me feel better to hear her say as well. At that point SHE may give a reference to a neurologist she feels would be able to understand, or knowing her, if she wants to know, she is going to be calling to talk to one herself.
