Rhythm of oscillations in cerebral cortex, key to understanding Down syndrome

The thing that stood out to me in this was the fact of alterations in the neuronal circuit that impact the cerebral cortex physiology could be the cause of Down Syndrome. A gene linked with this disorder associates with altered oscillations in the cerebral cortex. This cortex is responsible for reasoning, language, and social behavior.
