Epigenetic mechanisms underlying stress-related learning and memory

An organism exposed to a stressful situation will undergo a complex array of physiological and behavioural changes aimed at the preservation of the organism during the stressful event as well as at stimulating adaptive and mnemonic processes in case the event would reoccur in the future. It is well-...
