Dynamic DNA structures and the formation of memory

Summary:
An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA
(G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and
repression of genes underlying long-term memory formation.
I have always though that memory could be stored as DNA sequenxes...

More likely RNA or some other protein.
The oft-mocked Lamarckian concept, of genetic learning (not just
natural selection) is probably real, and some reverse transcription
does happen, namely that DNA is edited within the life of one
organism.
But remembering where you left your glasses is probably
handled at a lower level than editing your chromosones.
We do have short-term memory too. We don't want to junk up our
chromosomes remembering every grocery list.

But how can it be passed down as Lamarck thought, if the eggs in the
ovaries are formed early? If genetic memory could be passed down it
would be only from the father because sperm are formed recently. But the >sperm spawn from local cells. If DNA is edited to store memory then

Not via her DNA.
My mother tought me "FEB like February" - flour, egg,
breadcrumbs - when frying fish or cutlets. No DNA used.

Yes, it's called 'education'. No need to invent improbable

Yes, but that is not the issue. Lamark claimed that it could be done
very quickly, in the lifetime of one woman, versus over generations
(where DNA controls). Actually, Lamark was focused on Wheat,
specifically can one train wheat to grow in Siberia; this was very
attractive to Stalin. Turns out you cannot.
But there is a twist. There was a study of the effect of mass
starvation of the Swedish population which showed that one could
detect the effect of starvation of grandfathers on their
grandchildren. It is thought that this is mediated by epigenetic
information carried in methyl tags on the DNA, but I don't know if
that was ever sorted out. "Överkalix study":

Jeroen Belleman
No sense in dismissing possibilities because you don't like them. That applies to biology and electronics. Nature invents "improbable
mechanisms" which have a "scientific basis" when shown to exist.
The ideas of jumping genes, reverse transcription, and epignetic
switching were all mocked, known to be impossible, by the rigid neo-Darwinists. I think there's all sorts of cool stuff waiting for
old farts to die so they can be considered and discovered.
Mitochondria are sadly neglected.
Evolution by random mutation and natural selection is for losers.
Losers are also known as lunch.
Most people, including most engineers, are instantly hostile to
unauthorized ideas. That's fine with me... it leaves me more stuff to
invent and sell.

Yes, but that is not the issue. Lamark claimed that it could be done
very quickly, in the lifetime of one woman, versus over generations
(where DNA controls). Actually, Lamark was focused on Wheat,
specifically can one train wheat to grow in Siberia; this was very
attractive to Stalin. Turns out you cannot.
But there is a twist. There was a study of the effect of mass
starvation of the Swedish population which showed that one could

that was ever sorted out. "Överkalix study":

But it's good enough at the species level, or it would have been
replaced by now.
We on SED did discuss the evolution of the eye some
time ago - same framework, and the actual design is pretty rough in
places.
How "classic evolution" works is itself subject to evolution, and
there are some pretty wild genetic systems in tiny critters.

Yes, it's called 'education'. No need to invent improbable
mechanisms without scientific basis.
Jeroen Belleman
No sense in dismissing possibilities because you don't like them. That
applies to biology and electronics. Nature invents "improbable
mechanisms" which have a "scientific basis" when shown to exist.
The ideas of jumping genes, reverse transcription, and epignetic
switching were all mocked, known to be impossible, by the rigid
neo-Darwinists. I think there's all sorts of cool stuff waiting for
old farts to die so they can be considered and discovered.
Mitochondria are sadly neglected.
Evolution by random mutation and natural selection is for losers.
Losers are also known as lunch.
You missed your vocation. You should have become a biologist.
Most people, including most engineers, are instantly hostile to
unauthorized ideas. That's fine with me... it leaves me more stuff to
invent and sell.
Most people judge the validity of new ideas in the context of their
knowledge base. You have to have some way to quickly weed out
the torrent of harebrained ideas, or you wouldn't get anything
done at all. Yes, this can backfire.

A human brain can play with multiple, literally millions, of ideas as effortless parallel background process. In your sleep. If you let it.

After giving all of them a chance, I just pick the best one to build.
Background thinking is like brainstorming, in that good ideas can lurk behind, and be inspired by, stupid ideas.
You are arguing for rejecting ideas ASAP because there's not enough
mental bandwidth available. I suggest that our brains are quantum
computers with essentially unlimited parallel-processing power, and we
can afford to give everything a chance, to explore the infinite
solution space for a while.
What's a simpler concept is that social pressures make most people
afraid of having unorthodox ideas.
Half of electronic design is psychology. The other 60% is packaging.
The rest is thermal.
