Experience changes gene expression
Description:
Professor James Eberwine describes three ways in which experiences can change the gene-expression: changing RNA translation, movement, and potentially production.
Transcript:
Daily interactions, even thinking about a past experience, does change gene expression within cells both at the level of translation of RNAs in a protein, potentially movement of RNAs into different regions of the cell, and thirdly potentially even the production of RNAs. Experience definitely changes gene expression.
Keywords:
