As Wolynn explains, these hormones and signals shape the chemistry and function of our cells. The cells then influence which genes get switched on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Wolynn also notes that fathers leave their biological imprint on children, not just mothers. Yet much of the conversation among health researchers homes in on the extent to which mothers\u2019 choices and behaviors affect their children. Some caution that this constitutes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonathanmetzl.com\/the-new-science-of-blaming-mothers\/\">\u201cnew science of blaming mothers<\/a>&#8221; and provides cover for those who seek to scapegoat women for society&#8217;s ills and control their behavior.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists can now identify specific genes that are linked with particular emotional states, such as heightened <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/low-mood-and-anxiety\/\">depression and anxiety<\/a>. So, Wolynn says, we know which genes activate when we respond to stressors. If your mother experiences high, sustained stress during pregnancy, those stress hormones pass along to you. This could be a good thing\u2014for example, if it prepares you to adapt and survive in a dangerous environment, like a high-crime neighborhood. Alternatively, it could be maladaptive. Even when you&#8217;re surrounded by love and safety, you could enter the world on high alert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many studies now reveal that children of parents who lived through traumatic events\u2014such as the 9\/11 attacks in New York City or the Holocaust during World War II\u2014display gene expression and stress patterns similar to those of their parents, even though they didn\u2019t directly experience the trauma. Control groups confirm the uniqueness of these findings. Wolynn says that although scientists haven\u2019t yet isolated the exact mechanisms responsible for transmission of biological trauma from parent to child, <strong>animal studies indicate that biological markers of trauma can be passed down through at least three generations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-research-on-the-role-genes-play-in-biological-trauma\"><strong>New Research on the Role Genes Play in Biological Trauma<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas Wolynn asserts that genes influence whether someone manifests <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/common-symptoms-of-trauma\/\">trauma symptoms<\/a>, he doesn\u2019t specify <em>how much<\/em> influence genes have. Let\u2019s look at what the research says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to studies conducted on twins, genetic factors do not cause all differences in trauma response. Rather, they account for <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/120144\/trauma-genetic-scientists-say-parents-are-passing-ptsd-kids\">about a third of the variation between those who exhibit trauma symptoms and those who don\u2019t<\/a>. Other research completed after the publication of Wolynn\u2019s book shows mixed results. Studies conducted on children of trauma survivors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/2019\/02\/legacy-trauma\">sometimes revealed <em>no<\/em> differences between trauma survivors\u2019 offspring and controls<\/a> in terms of their susceptibility to trauma symptoms. Therefore, we cannot assume that just because a child has parents who endured severe trauma, the child will have a predisposition to trauma symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given these mixed results, some researchers are looking at non-genetic factors to explain trauma symptoms, such as a family\u2019s socio-cultural milieu and different communication styles of trauma survivors that shape children\u2019s ability to manage stress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is biological trauma?
