Epigenetic memory

Epigenetic memory refers to how our genes can be influenced by experiences and environmental factors, affecting how they are expressed without changing the DNA sequence itself. This means that past events, such as stress or diet, can leave lasting marks on our genes that might be passed down to future generations. Essentially, it’s a biological way of remembering experiences that can impact traits, behavior, and health. This mechanism helps organisms adapt to their environments while still retaining the core genetic information inherited from their ancestors.
