Epigenetic regulation of the circadian gene Per1 contributes to age-related changes in hippocampal memory

Circadian rhythms are known to modulate memory, but it’s not known whether clock genes in the hippocampus are required for memory consolidation. Here, the authors show that epigenetic regulation of clock gene Period1 in the hippocampus regulates memory and contributes to age-related memory decline,...
