Abstract
Does neuronal loss associated with dementia necessarily impair the ability to learn new information and recall old memories? In a recent report in Nature, Fischer et al. (2007) show that the ability to learn and remember can be reestablished in a mouse model of dementia through either environmental enrichment or chronic treatment with an inhibitor of histone deacetylase.
