This study shows that the memory deficit caused by amyloid fibrils in rodents is mediated, in part, by neuroinflammation leading to histone modification via alteration of the interaction between HDAC2 and methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) and resulting epigenetic modification of the neuroligin 1 promoter, causing a reduction in neuroligin 1 expression in neurons.
