Unmasking the Epigenetic Disparity in Anxiety Disorders

Can we permanently dismantle post-traumatic stress disorder by erasing the physical marks trauma leaves on our genes? Backed by a five-year, $3.2 million grant researchers are exploring the epigenetic architecture of the amygdala to decode how a single terrifying event creates a long-lasting "molecular memory".
