The presentation and development of psychiatric illnesses is affected by interindividual
variability in brain morphology and genetics (Tost et al., 2012; Smoller, 2016). Epigenetic …

There is growing evidence of abnormal epigenetic processes playing a role in the
neurobiology of psychiatric disorders, although the precise nature of these anomalies …

Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are part of an emerging story on how
early-life experiences can alter behavioral trajectories and lead to the development of …

Understanding biological mechanisms that shape vulnerability to emotional dysfunction is
critical for elucidating the neurobiology of psychiatric illnesses like anxiety and depression …

Quality of maternal care in infancy is an important contributing factor in the development of
behavior and psychopathology. One way maternal care could affect behavioral trajectories …

DNA methylation is one of the essential factors in the control of gene expression. Folic acid,
methionine and choline (methyl donors)–all nutrients related to one-carbon metabolism–are …

In spite of intense interest in how altered epigenetic processes including DNA methylation
may contribute to psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, there is a limited …

Chemical and psychological stressors can exert long lasting changes in brain function and
behaviour. Changes in DNA methylation have been shown to be an important mechanism …
