As the methyltransferase of histone H3K27, the role of Ezh2 in neurogenesis of adult mice and its mechanism of action are largely unknown.

Moreover, the loss of<jats:italic>Ezh2</jats:italic>in progenitor cells leads to a decrease in the number of neurons, which was observed by long-term tracing. Strikingly, conditional knockout of<jats:italic>Ezh2</jats:italic>ultimately results in impairments in spatial learning and memory, contextual fear memory, and pattern separation. Our findings demonstrate the essential role of Ezh2 in the proliferation of progenitor cells, thus providing insight into the molecular mechanisms of adult neurogenesis in preserving cognitive functions.</jats:p> Ezh2 Regulates Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis and Memory The Journal of Neuroscience
