Dr. Oded Rechavi, a neurobiology professor at Tel Aviv University, specializes in genetic inheritance and the surprising transmission of memories across generations. In a fascinating discussion, he challenges traditional views of genetics by explaining how experiences can influence genetic makeup, raising profound implications for nature versus nurture debates. He also highlights his research using model organisms like C. elegans to show how stressors and memories can be passed down, fundamentally altering our understanding of behavior and evolution.
