Diet and the epigenetic (re)programming of phenotypic differences in behavior.

Brain research - 27 Oct 2008

McGowan Patrick O, Meaney Michael J, Szyf Moshe

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic diversity is shaped by both genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that program tissue specific patterns of gene expression. Cells, including neurons, undergo massive epigenetic reprogramming during development through modifications to chromatin structure, and by covalent modifications of the DNA through methylation. There is evidence that these changes are sensitive to environmental influences such as...
