SHOW NOTES:

It’s intriguing to think that emotions, like fear, could be epigenetically started in one generation and carried and expressed in offspring. That’s what a recent study in lab mice revealed. What could it mean in terms of “Ancient Memory” or certain predisposed fears; and can fears (in RNA receptors) that have been switched on, be switched back off? Today, I discuss this story and share both a reflection and a challenge.

Here’s the article in Scientific America that I refer to in the episode.

Here is the research study paper about the study itself.

Thank you for listening!
