#DNA Breakage Underlies Learning and Age Related Neurodegeneration The process that allows our brains to learn
creating damage that the neurons must immediately repair, according to Li-Huei Tsai, the Picower Professor of Neuroscience and director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at MIT.
This process is essential to learning and memory. ells physiologically break their DNA to allow certain important genes to be expressed,
which ultimately pave the way for the transcriptional program that supports learning and memory, and many other behaviors.
and particularly with some genetic conditions, the efficiency of the DNA repair system is compromised, leading to the accumulation of damage,
Previous research has shown that the expression of genes involved in learning and memory is reduced as people age.
