The present invention relates to a method for enhancing learning and memory, particularly relates to the method for enhancing learning and memory by suppressing the activity of NCX2 protein. As the transgenic mouse defected with NCX2 gene showed enhanced learning and memory compared with a normal mouse, the substance suppressing the activity of NCX2 protein can effectively be used as a promoter of learning and memory, and NCX2 gene and its protein can be used to screen the substance for enhancing learning and memory.
