Brief description The brain stores memories that can last a lifetime and our memory is core to mental health, but we still do not know how memories are stored. Here we explore a radical new theory that memory storage involves chemical modification of the DNA molecule - DNA-methylation. We will examine how memory changes patterns of DNA-methylation, and how modifying DNA-methylation can change memory. Our work will examine the biochemical basis of memory, and will inspire new strategies to treat memory disorders.
