Epigenetic plasticity following early stress predicts long‐term health outcomes in rhesus macaques
6 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Early life stress has been linked with poorer lifelong health outcomes across species, including modern and ancient humans. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation patterning of stress pathway genes in stress-responsive tissue, may play an important role in the long-term health effects of early stress across species. The relationships among early maternal care quality, DNA methylation patterns in a...
