China is dominating the worldwide race for power:

China now has a record 3.75 terawatts of power generation capacity.

That capacity has doubled over the last 8 years.

This is nearly 3 TIMES more than the US, which has ~1.30 terawatts of capacity.

Furthermore, China has 34 nuclear reactors under construction, more than the next 9 countries combined.

Nearly 200 other reactors are planned or proposed.

At the same time, there are currently no large commercial nuclear reactors under construction in the US.

The US must act now to keep up with China.

Rewiring brain circuits in Down syndrome may actually be possible.

Researchers long assumed that interventions to improve brain function in Down syndrome had to occur very early—either in utero or during infancy—before neural circuits fully matured.

However, a recent study in mice has dramatically overturned this view.

Published in Cell Reports, the research demonstrates that replenishing a key brain molecule called pleiotrophin can restructure neural connections and enhance brain plasticity even after full development.

Pleiotrophin plays a critical role in forming synapses and guiding neuronal interconnections. It is abundant during typical brain development but sharply reduced in Down syndrome, contributing to the observed differences in brain structure and function.

In the experiment, scientists used a harmless modified virus to introduce pleiotrophin directly into astrocytes—supportive brain cells that nourish and modulate neurons. This approach led to significant improvements: increased synapse formation in the hippocampus, restored circuit flexibility, and better performance in learning and memory tasks, all in adult mice.

This finding is groundbreaking, as prior treatments focused on narrow early developmental windows. The results indicate that the adult brain retains far greater adaptability than previously thought.

While this is preliminary mouse research and human applications remain distant, it raises exciting prospects not only for Down syndrome but also for related disorders such as fragile X syndrome or Alzheimer's disease.
