Have a question about the brain? Ask a neuroscientist a question.
When immediate early genes were first described in 1984, they were thought to be yet another set of proteins involved in the cell cycle. Recent research, however, suggests that these regulatory proteins may hold the key to understanding how the hippocampus forms and stores memories.
