AI Article Synopsis
- A study found that a special protein called calcineurin helps keep emotional memories strong and long-lasting.
- Usually, proteins called kinases are known for helping with memory, but calcineurin plays a different role.
- Calcineurin makes these emotional memories harder to forget, even when we try to let them go.
