Methylation Matters in Child Development: Toward Developmental Behavioral Epigenetics

2011-09-02

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Child development might be conceptualized as experiences becoming sculpted in the organism’s DNA through methylation, one of the major epigenetic mechanisms of change. This article introduces some of the basic biological mechanisms of methylation, discusses research on animal models, and highlights some of the most impressive methylation studies on human development. Although assessment of methylation lev...
