The question as to how one's experience of an event gets translated into a memory that can be accessed months, even years later has puzzled scientists since a long time. A team led by University of Pennsylvania scientists has come closer to answering that question, identifying key molecules that help convert short-term memories into long-term ones. These proteins may offer a target for drugs that can enhance memory, alleviating some of the cognitive symptoms that ...Thursday, 13 September 2012
Key Molecules Involved in Forming Long-Term Memories Identified by Penn Team
The question as to how one's experience of an event gets translated into a memory that can be accessed months, even years later has puzzled scientists since a long time. A team led by University of Pennsylvania scientists has come closer to answering that question, identifying key molecules that help convert short-term memories into long-term ones.
