Neuron. 2024 Sep 4;112(17):2829-2832. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2024.07.014.

Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Torres-Berrío et al.1 show that stress-susceptible mice exhibit elevated H3K27me1 levels in nucleus accumbens neurons due to the action of the SUZ12 VEFS domain, strengthening the link between specific epigenetic changes and long-lasting stress-induced social, emotional, and cognitive alterations.
