Mechanistic description

The memory-based navigation differences associated with ADCY8 may involve epigenetic programming during critical developmental windows. Therapeutic epigenetic reprogramming of ADCY8 expression could restore spatial memory capabilities by reactivating juvenile-like plasticity in navigation circuits.

Mechanism / pathway

  1. ADCY8
  2. memory and navigation
