Melatonin enhances long-term memory by modulating protein phosphorylation

Melatonin enhances long-term memory by modulating protein phosphorylation

Multiple studies have demonstrated the memory-enhancing effects of melatonin and its derivatives in animal models. Additionally it is known that the formation of each short- and long-term memories require the phosphorylation of certain memory-related proteins. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying melatonin-induced memory enhancement have remained elusive. Now, medical researchers from Sophia University, Japan, have made […]
