“Memories are made of this…” “Elegant research released today from Nobelist Eric Kandel’s laboratory reveals that the cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), long implicated in memory consolidation, primes brain cells to retain long-term memories. Regulated expression of CREB, during or shortly before a memory task, might allow single-trial learning, and eventually lead to development of memory-enhancing drugs, Kandel says.” BioMedNet [requires free registration]
