Design and Development of ‘Building Opportunities for Optimal physical activity Skills Training in children with Down Syndrome (BOOST‐DS)’ Programme and its Content Validation through Consensus using Modified Delphi method

Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 8, Page 811-822, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Children with Down syndrome (DS) often do not meet daily physical activity requirements, which affects their participation in daily activities and overall quality of life. Structured physical activity programmes could address these issues, but accessible, participation‐based activities are limited.

Dopaminergic novelty detection and theta oscillations: Virtual reality‐based adaptive interventions for cognitive enhancement in aging

Ibrain, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 169-189, Summer 2026.
Aging‐related cognitive decline is associated with reduced dopaminergic signaling and disrupted theta oscillations, which together impair novelty detection and memory formation. This review shows how VR environments can be used to deliver adaptive, novelty‐rich stimuli that engage dopaminergic circuits and entrain theta rhythms, thereby enhancing ...
