Abstract

Background: The main purpose of using fMRI in people with Down’s Syndrome is to find variations in Brian activation and connectivity patterns compared to typically developing individuals. This can help us to identify which brain areas are affected and how they function differently from normal people fMRI helps us in the early detection of cognitive and neurological problems in individuals with DS. Methodology: This descriptive study is based on a review of the literature. A literature review analysis was carried out Using several suggested platforms, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, etc. Result: People with DS displayed distinct activation patterns that were not observed in people with. These differences can be related to various cognitive functions such as memory, language processing, and problem-solving. DS patients showed noticeably smaller magnitudes of temporal activations in language-related brain areas. Conclusion: The study on DS has benefited greatly from the application of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which has shed light on the neurological foundations of this complicated genetic disorder. FMRI has become a valuable tool for grasping the anatomical and functional variations in the brains of people with DS, providing insight into the behavioural and cognitive difficulties they encounter.
