I want to know whether memories are somehow heritable, given the fact that our connectomes constitute our memories. Has there been any calculations comparing the connectomes of the biological parents to that of their newborn infant? If memories are indeed heritable, it would be interesting to know how far back (in terms of generations) we can trace them.
