Micromanaging Memory

Making human memories involves a complicated orchestration of genetic, biochemical, and cellular processes. Although much remains unknown, considerable progress has been made in the study of memory processing, consolidation, storage, and retention. In addition, molecular pathways underlying memory impairments in neurodegenerative and other neurological diseases are beginning to be revealed. In this issue of Biological Psychiatry, Wang et  al. (1) contribute to this ever-growing field of research by uncovering a novel molecular signaling pathway that mediates memory deficits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
