Rondal, Jean A.; Comblain, Annick
Down Syndrome Research and Practice, v8 n1 p1-9 Mar 2002
Several cross-sectional studies and one longitudinal study were conducted on the language abilities of various cohorts of persons with Down syndrome (ages 14-50). A gradual decrease in global cerebral metabolic rate (CMR) for both hemispheres and for each participant was documented, however, no language deterioration could be associated with CMR decreases.
