Decoding Memory: Chromatin and Energy Dynamics
This chapter examines the role of chromatin plasticity in memory stabilization and the essential function of DNA unwinding for gene transcription in memory formation. It discusses the critical influence of energy supply, specifically glucose and lactate, on neuronal function and memory encoding. Additionally, the exploration of memory malleability highlights ongoing research into the molecular mechanisms that underpin memory formation and implications for neurodegenerative conditions.
