Epigenetic memory aids: Synaptic and molecular effects of HDAC inhibition that support memory formation

Allison Marie Burns

Learning and memory rely on synaptic communication in which intracellular signals are transported to the nucleus to stimulate transcriptional activation. Memory induced transcriptional increases are accompanied by alterations to the epigenetic landscape an ...

The HDAC inhibitor CI-994 acts as a molecular memory aid by facilitating synaptic and intracellular communication after learning

Johannes Gräff, Giulia Santoni, Allison Marie Burns, Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Long-term memory formation relies on synaptic plasticity, neuronal activity-dependent gene transcription, and epigenetic modifications. Multiple studies have shown that HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) treatments can enhance individual aspects of these processes and ...

Where does the engram come from? Study of prefrontal cortex inputs during memory consolidation

Lucie Pauline Dixsaut

The formation and storage of memories has been under deep investigation for several decades. Nevertheless, the precise contribution of each brain region involved in this process and the interplay between them across memory consolidation is still largely de ...

Brain-wide screen of prelimbic cortex inputs reveals a functional shift during early fear memory consolidation

Johannes Gräff, Lucie Pauline Dixsaut

Memory formation and storage rely on multiple interconnected brain areas, the contribution of which varies during memory consolidation. The medial prefrontal cortex, in particular the prelimbic cortex (PL), was traditionally found to be involved in remote ...

Context-dependent enhancer function revealed by targeted inter-TAD relocation

Denis Duboule, Guillaume Andrey, Lucille Delisle, Christopher Chase Bolt, Aurélie Hintermann

Here the authors show that a strong enhancer sequence can be controlled by the chromatin environment provided by a topologically associated domain (TAD) located nearby. An enhancer relocated by homologous recombination takes all the hallmarks of its new ne ...

Hypothalamic pregnenolone mediates recognition memory in the context of metabolic disorders

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Ioannis Zalachoras, Sara Ramirez Flores

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with cognitive dysfunction. Because the hypothalamus is implicated in energy balance control and memory disorders, we hypothesized that specific neurons in this brain region are at the interface of metabolism and ...

Transposable elements contribute to the spatiotemporal microRNA landscape in human brain development

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Shaoline Sheppard, Christopher James Playfoot

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks and are dynamically expressed throughout human brain development and disease. One gene regulatory mechanism influenced by TEs is the miRNA system of post-transcriptional co ...

Class I histone deacetylases (HDAC1-3) are histone lysine delactylases

Alexander Lund Nielsen, Carlos Moreno Yruela, Di Zhang

Lysine L-lactylation [K(L-la)] is a newly discovered histone mark stimulated under conditions of high glycolysis, such as the Warburg effect. K(L-la) is associated with functions that are different from the widely studied histone acetylation. While K(L-la) ...

Mesoscopic description of hippocampal replay and metastability in spiking neural networks with short-term plasticity

Tilo Schwalger, Valentin Marc Schmutz

Bottom-up models of functionally relevant patterns of neural activity provide an explicit link between neuronal dynamics and computation. A prime example of functional activity patterns are propagating bursts of place-cell activities called hippocampal rep ...

Inquiring the librarian about the location of memory

Gabriel Berdugo Vega

Where memories are stored in the brain is an age-old question in psychology and neuroscience alike. In particular, whether hippocampus-encoded memories are transferred to the cortex or remain hippocampus-dependent over time has not been definitely answered ...
