A simple energy molecule gives female mice a memory boost

A team of scientists from the U.S. has discovered that acetate, a simple molecule involved in how our bodies create energy, can significantly increase long-term memory in female mice. The researchers ...

This compound enhances long-term memory of mice — but only in females

Specifically, the team found changes in the histone variant H2A.Z, which has been previously linked to long-term memory. Acetate also increased the expression of genes linked to learning in the female ...
