Memories may be stored on your DNA

REMEMBER your first kiss? Experiments in mice suggest that patterns of chemical "caps" on our DNA may be responsible for preserving such memories. To remember a particular event, a specific sequence of neurons must fire at just the right time. For this to happen, neurons must be connected in a certain way by chemical junctions called synapses. But how they last over decades, given that proteins in the brain, including those that form synapses, are destroyed and replaced constantly, is a mystery.

I've read about experiments with worms, I think it was, that seemed to indicate that some form of memory was inherited.  In an article I read a year ago in Newseek as I recall, inherited memory in rats was mentioned.  Forgive me for my patchy memory.  But, the evidence for inheriting the memory of the experiences of our ancestors seems to be mounting.  Stay tuned to this exciting and significant area of research says!          Pooch Dog
