Is There a Role of Epigenetically Inherited Neurogenesis on Infantile Amnesia? Commentary: Intergenerational Transmission of the Positive Effects of Physical Exercise on Brain and Cognition.

Is There a Role of Epigenetically Inherited Neurogenesis on Infantile Amnesia? Even though higher rates of memory retention in young ages appear to be an adaptive advantage, hippocampal neurogenesis and infantile amnesia are widespread among mammals and are probably adaptive I per se i . Some encouraging advances are identifying that microRNAs correct processing could be related to neurogenesis regulation (Choi et al., [8]), however, a possible link between heritable microRNAs and neurogenesis is not known yet and should be a further research question together with other heritable epigenetic traits. Prenatal stress inhibits hippocampal neurogenesis but spares olfactory bulb neurogenesis. [Extracted from the article]
