Hormone therapy may boost brain function for people with Down’s syndrome, study finds

Men given a dose of gonadotropin-releasing hormone every two hours showed improvements in cognitive function in small-scale trial

Regular doses of a hormone may help to boost cognitive skills in people with Down's syndrome, a pilot study has suggested.

Researchers fitted seven men who have Down's syndrome with a pump that provided a dose of GnRH, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone, every two hours for six months.
