Environmentally Induced Epigenetic Effects On Cognitive Performance (looksmaxxing your brain)

[jaw_is_law]

The authors suggest that one possible reason for what they refer to as “intelligence malleability” is the modification of gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms like DNA methylation, owing to environmental factors such as changes in the educational system, overall exposure to stress, traumatic experiences, nutrition, and poverty. The considerable increase in test results for average intelligence within one generation in the second half of the last century cannot be explained by genetics alone, which is where epigenetics comes in.

Epigenetics and IQ: the mechanism behind environmentally-induced effects on cognitive performance

A new study suggests that environmentally-induced epigenetic changes may have an important influence on cognitive performance.
