ABSTRACT:
A method of regulating long term memory is disclosed. Also disclosed is isolated DNA encoding a cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate responsive transcriptional activator, isolated DNA encoding an antagonist of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate-inducible transcription, isolated DNA encoding an enhancer-specific activator, and isolated DNA encoding a nitric oxide synthase. A method for assessing the effect of a drug on long term memory formation is also disclosed.
