Emotional memories create long-term epigenetic changes
This 2015 German rodent study found: “Histone modifications predominantly changed during memory acquisition and correlated surprisingly little with changes in gene expression. Although long-lasting changes were almost exclusive to neurons, learning-related histone modification and DNA methylation changes also occurred in non-neuronal cell types, suggesting a functional role for non-neuronal cells in epigenetic learning.” Chromatin modifications … Continue reading Emotional memories create long-term epigenetic changes
