Default hi anne...

...and welcome back.
Anne is teasing me a little since we have had similar discussions of "varying agreement" along these lines.

But the importance of what the fetus encounters is startling. You wouldn't think that your own mother's stress or depression or infection, etc would mark you for life, but that is exactly what happens. Heck, the stress effect is even passed to the next generation! It blurs the line between genetics and environment. And it has a big role in PD.

So, the amount of sunlight our mom's had might be relevant. If only we had another 500,000 responses
