Drug addiction poses a significant public health challenge, impacting individuals and societies at large. While substantial progress has been made in understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of addiction, certain aspects remain unresolved. Satb2 is a DNA-binding protein involved in gene expression regulation through chromatin remodelling. We propose that it can emerge as a potential player in addiction mechanisms. A Satb2 conditional mutant (cKo) (Satb2 flox/flox::Camk2a-cre) that was generated showed impairment in long-term memory and an absence of this gene in the Cortex and CA1 regio
