Common Molecules in Memory Formation and Congenital Intellectual Disability: a Role for the RAS-ERK-CREB Pathway in Cognition

In my PhD thesis, I described the role that several molecules within the signalling cascade that activates the transcription factor CREB (cAMP Response Element Binding protein) play in long-term memory formation. In humans and mice, mutations in the genes encoding for several proteins within such molecular cascade result in learning and memory deficits. Awarded an Extraordinary Doctorate Award.
