The genes themselves do not change, their attributes are fixed from conception. What changes is the way they operate. The article compares it to an "on-off switch."

There is obviously a relationship between the physical self and the psychological self. What we have not understood is the mechanism through which one affects the other. This article suggests that researchers are close to solving that riddle.
