Abstract

Engel et al. demonstrate a region- and time-dependent role of brain m6A/m methylation in stress-response regulation. Manipulating m6A/m alters fear memory, transcriptome response, and synaptic plasticity. Altered m6A/m dynamics in depressed patients suggest importance of m6A/m modifications for stress-related psychiatric disorders.
