title: Another twist in the histone memory code.
abstract: Transcription is a highly regulated process and several studies have examined the role of transcription factors and various epigenetic regulators in memory formation. In a recent paper in Nature, Zokvic and colleagues show an important role for a novel regulator of chromatin structure (the incorporation of histone variants) in memory formation.
