<http://email.dana.org/c.html?rtr=on&s=awru,qwhj,594,md18,lwdq,dlq4,m3a0> Epigenetics and the Human Brain: Where Nurture Meets Nature
By Isabelle M. Mansuy, Ph.D., and Safa Mohanna
While our genetic code determines a great deal of who and what we are, it does not act alone. It depends heavily on the epigenome, an elaborate marking of the DNA that controls the genome's functions. Because it is sensitive to the environment, the epigenome is a powerful link and relay between our genes and our surroundings. Epigenetic marks drive biological characteristics as diverse as memory, development, and disease susceptibility; thus, the nurture aspect of the nature/nurture interaction makes essential contributions to our body and behaviors.
