Epigenetics: Behavioral Influences on Gene Function, Part II--Molecular Mechanisms
Ogren, Marilee P.; Lombroso, Paul J.
Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, v47 n4 p375-378 Apr 2008
A study presented on the effect of parenting on stress response and other behaviors show that animals exposed to a high degree of nurturing show a blunted response to stress. Molecular mechanisms responsible for these differences in the adult offspring as well as the molecular mechanisms by which epigenetic effects are propagated from one generation to the next are discussed.
