Abstract
While the study of molecular and cellular cognition has begun to elucidate the mechanisms of acquisition, consolidation, and storage of memories, the understanding of retrieval has lagged behind. In this issue of Cell, use molecular genetic approaches combined with pharmacology to demonstrate that beta-adrenergic receptor function regulates retrieval of certain forms of memory.
