Histone acetylation: molecular mnemonics on the chromatin

TL;DR: As histone acetylation and cognitive functions can be pharmacologically restored by histone deacetylase inhibitors, this epigenetic modification might constitute a molecular memory aid on the chromatin and, by extension, a new template for therapeutic interventions against cognitive frailty.

Neuropeptides and the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

TL;DR: Although the impact of neuropeptides on the interaction between the gut microbiota and brain awaits to be analysed, biologically active peptides are likely to emerge as neural and endocrine messengers in orchestrating the microbiota-gut-brain axis in health and disease.

Epigenetics of stress adaptations in the brain.

TL;DR: It is concluded that specific epigenetic mechanisms in the CNS are involved in the stress response, including genome-wide epigenetic changes of DNA methylation and particular genes involved in epigenetic responses that participate in the brain response to chronic psychogenic stressors.

Neurocognitive Aging and the Hippocampus across Species

TL;DR: This review surveys convergent data from animal and human studies that have contributed significantly to understanding of the brain-behavior relationships in the hippocampal network, particularly in the aging brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing histone acetylation in the hippocampus-infralimbic network enhances fear extinction.

TL;DR: The studies show that the memory modulating ability of drugs that enhance acetylation is sensitive to a variety of behavioral and molecular conditions.

Regulation of histone acetylation during memory formation in the hippocampus.

TL;DR: Results indicate that histone-associated heterochromatin undergoes changes in structure during the formation of long term memory, which enhances a cellular process thought to underlie longterm memory formation, hippocampal long term potentiation, and memory formation itself.

Chromatin acetylation, memory, and LTP are impaired in CBP+/- mice: a model for the cognitive deficit in Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and its amelioration.

TL;DR: Some of the cognitive and physiological deficits observed on RTS are not simply due to the reduction of CBP during development but may also result from the continued requirement throughout life for both the CREB co-activation and the histone acetylation function of CBp.

Altered Histone Acetylation Is Associated with Age-Dependent Memory Impairment in Mice

TL;DR: It is shown that memory disturbances in the aging brain of the mouse are associated with altered hippocampal chromatin plasticity, and data suggest that deregulated H4K12 acetylation may represent an early biomarker of an impaired genome-environment interaction in the Aging mouse brain.

Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors Enhance Memory and Synaptic Plasticity via CREB: CBP-Dependent Transcriptional Activation

TL;DR: It is shown that the enhancement of hippocampus-dependent memory and hippocampal synaptic plasticity by HDAC inhibitors is mediated by the transcription factor cAMP response element-bindingprotein (CREB) and the recruitment of the transcriptional coactivator and histone acetyltransferase CREB-binding protein (CBP) via the CREB -binding domain of CBP.

Epigenetic mechanisms in memory formation

TL;DR: Neurobiologists have only recently begun to investigate the possible roles of epigenetic mechanisms in behaviour, physiology and neuropathology, and relevant data from the few extant neurobiology-related studies have already indicated a theme — epigenetic mechanism probably have an important role in synaptic plasticity and memory formation.
