Epigenetic Mechanisms in Cognition
Although the critical role for epigenetic mechanisms in development and cell differentiation has long been appreciated, recent evidence reveals that these mechanisms are also employed in postmitotic neurons as a means of consolidating and stabilizing cognitive-behavioral memories. In this review, we discuss evidence for an "epigenetic code" in the central nervous system that mediates synaptic p...
متن کاملEpigenetic mechanisms in bone.
Epigenetics refers to the study of mechanisms able to influence gene expression in a stable and potentially heritable manner without altering the DNA sequence. These mechanisms include posttranslational histone modifications, miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulation and DNA methylation. The accumulation of molecular errors over time resulting, at least partly, in the alteration of normal ...
متن کاملEpigenetic mechanisms in schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disorder that lacks a unifying neuropathology, while currently available pharmacological treatments provide only limited benefits to many patients. This review will discuss how the field of neuroepigenetics could contribute to advancements of the existing knowledge on the neurobiology and treatment of psychosis. Genome-scale mapping of DMA methylation, histo...
متن کاملDopamine, Reward Conditioning, and Robot Behavior
In this paper, we explore the connection between robot learning and a computational model of a neuromodulatory system. Our model is based on a set of anatomical and physiological properties of the mammalian dopamine system, one of several diffuse ascending systems of the brain known to play a role in learning and plasticity. In the model, the output of the dopamine system acts as a value signal...
متن کاملEpigenetic mechanisms in human disease.
If one accesses the human genome websites, either the publicly or privately funded, and examines the information, one will find only the four letters A, G, T, and C in various combinations. However, one will not find a fifth letter we know to exist, namely C for 5-methylcytosine. For cancer research, this is a significant issue as alterations in DNA methylation in human cancer were first discov...
