Hyperexcitability of serotonergic circuits underlies anxiety behaviour
Host: Benedicte Amilhon
Info: Epigenetic modifications have an established function in learning and memory, but a role for histone variants in behavioral regulation was only recently uncovered. I will discuss emerging evidence for opposing actions of individual histone variants in memory, whereby histone H2A.Z suppresses and histone macroH2A1 promotes memory formation. Their effects on memory will be discussed in the context of transcriptional changes in the mouse hippocampus and related to sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease.
