Scientists working in the emerging field of epigenetics have discovered the mechanism that allows lived experience and acquired knowledge to be passed on within one generation, by altering the shape of a particular gene.
This means that an individual’s life experience doesn’t die with them but endures in genetic form.
The impact of the starvation your grandmother suffered during the second world war, for example, might go on to shape your parents’ brains, their behaviours and eventually yours.
Yehuda and her team carried out more work to find expression changes in genes linked to immune-system function.
These changes weaken the barrier of white blood cells, which allows the immune system to get improperly involved in the central nervous system.
This interference has been linked to depression, anxiety, psychosis and autism.
