Epigenetic Memory Transfer
Oded discusses the fascinating possibility of memory transfer across generations, particularly in worms. He explains how changes in small RNA production in the brain can influence behavior in subsequent generations, suggesting a mechanism that bypasses traditional synaptic changes. This epigenetic effect, which can last for multiple generations, raises intriguing questions about the role of specific genes, like sage, in the nervous system and behavior.In this clip
