Special Collection covering novel advances and insights into epigenetic mechanisms in learning and memory

Learning & Memory is inviting original research submissions for a Special Collection covering novel advances and insights into epigenetic mechanisms in learning and memory. This Special Collection will be guest edited by Dr. Farah Lubin, Professor of Neurobiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham.

This Special Collection will examine how chemical modifications to DNA, histone proteins, and regulatory noncoding RNA molecules influence transcriptional programs necessary for memory encoding, storage, and retrieval, how these processes shift with aging or disease, and how such insights may guide strategies to enhance or restore memory function.

Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts by October 30th, 2026. All submissions will be editorially reviewed for consideration in the Special Collection and will be subject to the journal’s standard peer-review process and publication policies.

Please submit manuscripts for consideration online by clicking here. Include “Epigenetics special collection” as one of the keywords and indicate in the cover letter the intent for consideration in the Special Collection.

We encourage presubmission queries. For editorial evaluation of your work’s suitability for consideration in the Special Collection, please email a cover letter and abstract to Executive Editor Dr. Susan Cushman at cushman@cshl.edu.
