The molecular mechanisms of memory storage remain poorly understood. In this study, authors describe a new mechanism that regulates the cellular patterns of early response gene signaling during learning via the recruitment of two functionally redundant nuclear repressors, class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) 4 and 5
