GEBR-7B, a novel PDE4D selective inhibitor that improves memory in rodents at non-emetic doses.

It looks very interesting. It seems to selectively inhibit PDE4D in the brain, causing hippocampal cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate) levels to rise. This enhances cascading signals via the adenylate cyclase pathway. The AC pathways are linked to various types of spatial and procedural learning.
Here is an article about type 3 AC receptors being involved in novel object recognition in mice.
Here is a full paper about AC type 5 being involved in plasticity and learning.
Here is an article about cAMP and Mg2+ involvement in long-term potentiation.
