Mechanistic description

Migratory animals maintain spatial memories across generations through epigenetic modifications. Reactivating these pathways could restore lost spatial memories in Alzheimer’s patients by reinstating dormant memory traces.

Mechanism / pathway

  1. DNMT3A, CREB-binding protein (CBP)
  2. spatial memory
