Incredible! I suspected that parents were passing traits down to children, but I thought it was only from live experiences amongst them (i.e. emotional skills or lack of). This new concept is mind blowing. And as you mention in StarTalk, the data is key to proving it and to start looking at options for better life quality. Big Thanks for all the hard work and insights.
This is fascinating and important research. My parents were both abandoned by their fathers, and I believe my trauma is in direct correlation to this fact. The future of self-knowledge will benefit from the gift of knowledge gleaned from the studies of epigenetic transgenerational trauma. Thank you for this important work.
I wonder if having traumatic pregnancies imprint on offspring also. My children are super empathetic and in tune with compassion for others. Could this be because of my trauma?
Bree, fetal "imprinting" is becoming more and more understood as very real, in the world of psychology. And we are beginning to accept the relevance of epigenetics as well.
What a great video!! I think there is an error in the cc at about 5 minutes, I think she says "my end goals is.." and it is in the cc as "my angle is.."
I honestly would not doubt this theory to be the truth. I think I said that right. What I mean is that it makes sense to me that trauma is passed on for many generations past the experience. I also have been watching & listening to Bruce Lipton for about a decade now, and he is who I first heard t as lking about epigenetics and the ability to influence the cells, or the DNA rather but that this in turn can inform the cells what the product of this recipe, at this time and in such an environment, most likely will turn out to be. I'm not a scientist or even educated much past HS, so I'm probably saying it all wrong but I know what I mean. I hope you can too.
While I understand your skepticism, much of the research is not just cause and effect, but seeks to identify the specific factors responsible for regulation of transcription, or what are called transcription factors. It has been a few years since I last took molecular cell biology in college, but we do know specific transcription factors for some epigenetic changes, having identified their chemical properties, and synthesized them in the lab. It is possible to elicit an epigenetic change in a controlled setting that is inherited by the offspring, and find those same transcription factors at work in them.
Not if you want to count cells. We don't know which genes are being turned on or off, and the mechanisms of epigenetics (the chemical markers that might define it) are still under investigation. The role of the secondary and tertiary shapes of DNA is still under investigation as well - check that out to do your brain in.
No. We don't have non invasive ways to measure gene expression, epigenetic states, and other important aspects of the molecular states of neurons and supporting cells in the brain without removing it. Moreover, we can't measure active brain activity at the level of single neurons without invasive methods currently, so use of small animals as models are critical to our understanding of how brains work.
@@offmeds2nite please excuse my ignorance, but the "active brain activity" surely can't be measured once the rat is dead? I always thought Math/Maths could help make models
This channel is soo woke. From climate change, plastic bottles, animal gender confusion and the African experience there is no room for scientific articles. Bye bye.

What a compassionate project. I hope this provides answers and a way forward as there is so much trauma in this world.

Very cool! Sad to see how little attention this video/ topic gets....

No theory is truth
@@kerimalpaltuncu97
Yes, I suppose not.
Hmmm, I can't quite find the words to put on this so...
Burn out the day!
Burn out the night!

@-- this is a theory
Well, whatever it is, it makes sense to me.
...but I don't even know what to call it! lol
So there's that
Great job. Congratutaltions!!
Amazing research!! Please keep it up!!
The link for the breakthroughfilms is broken. You can watch them here if you click " SHOW MORE," it's below the description & credits.
Absolutely incredible research
Fascinating.
Thank you.
In a grave in Paris, Lamarck shouts "I TOLD you so, Darwin!"
Fascinating ! Thank you !!!!!
Thank you for this research!! Can’t wait to learn more from you! 👏🏻❣️
That‘s extremely interesting
I wonder what she will discover post pandemic
is it possible to do the research without killing the rats to get their brain?

I don’t know. It’s funny that scientists use mice as science experiments.
Very interesting
Amazing
fascinating !
An amazing woman. Check her out with Neil Degrasse Tyson.
