Identifying the molecular interactions that occur all over the body during exercise could reveal how it affects learning and memory.

As researchers unravel the molecular machinery that links exercise and cognition, working out is emerging as a promising neurotherapy.

Male rodents exposed to nicotine had changes in sperm genome methylation and produced pups and grandpups with abnormal behavior.

Methylation patterns at so-called metastable epialleles in the genome stamp a memory into each of our cells.

A new study reports that immune memory may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases.

Mice who get less attention from their mothers have more copies of a common retrotransposon in the genomes of their hippocampal neurons.

The variation may help explain why stocked salmon don’t fare as well in the ocean.

Researchers use the technique to turn on Oct4 or Sox2 in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and convert them into pluripotent cells. 

Researchers map learning-induced chromatin alterations in mouse brain cells, and find that many affect autism-associated genes.
