Researchers discover dynamic DNA structures that regulate the formation of memory

by

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific DNA structure. The team found that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term memory formation. … Read more
