Transcriptional regulation is necessary for maintaining long-term memories (LTM) but the mechanistic details are not completely defined. Here the authors identify transcriptional machinery and histone modifiers required for LTM maintenance inDrosophilaand show that transcriptional regulation for LTM maintenance is distinct from that for LTM formation.
