Am I right in thinking that what these people:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20026845.000-memories-may-be-stored-on-your-dna.html


are saying is that memories can be stored as changes in the DNA inside neurons?

If so, that would upset a few apple carts.

Would it mean that memories (including cultural adaptations) could be passed from mother to child?

Implication for neuroscientists proposing to build a WBE (whole brain emulation): the resolution you need may now have to include all the DNA in every neuron. Any bets on when they will have the resolution to do that?
