Now that we have a better understanding of Epigenetics (see the previous episode), Shelly interviews Dr. Marcelo Wood (UC Irvine), a professor in the department of neurobiology and behavior. He runs a research program that focuses on understanding the epigenetic mechanisms of memory. What should parents be thinking about in regards to protecting their children's memories? How should parents be approaching the importance of memory? This episode digs into our marvelous brain and how our memories impact us.
