Summary:

The main theme of this book is to critically survey the role of two recognized protein molecules (i.e., transcription factors) in processes of human memory.

Historically, the transcription factor cAMP response element-binding (CREB) has been the most well documented transcription factor shown to play a role in memory. CREB has several functions, but its most notable function has to do with the formation of long-term memories. More recen
