Study Identifies Gene KDM5B as Crucial for Learning and Memory in Mice

A recent study has identified a gene, KDM5B, that is crucial for learning and memory in mice. Reduced function of this gene in mice results in significant deficits in memory and learning abilities. KDM5B is essential for strengthening neuronal connections, vital for memory formation, and its discovery could lead to new treatments for conditions like autism and intellectual disabilities.
