The Epigenetic Impacts of Social Stress: How does Social Adversity Become Biologically Embedded?

21 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic mechanisms are implicated in the processes through which social stressors erode health in humans and other animals. Here I review progress in elucidating the biological pathways underlying the social gradient in health, with particular emphasis on how behavioral stresses influence epigenomic variation linked to health. The evidence that epigenetic changes are involved in embedding of social...
