From the Search for a Molecular Code of Memory to the Role of Neurotransmitters: A Historical Perspective by Georges Chapouthier

“…Therefore, the chemical bases for memory were investigated in the macromolecules of the brain. Such attempts were relatively unsuccessful, which led to a second period (starting in 1978) with the research emphasizing, in a less ambitious way, the role of the molecular correlates of mnesic processes, in particular in the main transmitter systems of the brain.…”
