The study represents a further finding in the broad field of neural development and the nuclear elements that contribute to the formation of the neural structures that make up the brain's framework. The study is original with regard to the SNHG11 gene and its involvement in Down's syndrome. It is one more factor to be considered among the multiple elements that contribute to altering the functioning of the hippocampus in people with Down's syndrome.  

Reference to its possible therapeutic implications is an obligatory and routine comment by all basic researchers.
