Brain development is a life-long process that encompasses several critical periods of
transition, during which significant cognitive changes occur. Embryonic development …

Maternal immune activation (MIA) and infection during pregnancy are known to
reprogramme offspring phenotypes. However, the epigenetic effects of preconceptual …

Neuroplasticity during the prenatal period allows neurons to regenerate anatomically and
functionally for re-programming the brain development. During this critical period of fetal …

Although extensive research has focused on the impact of maternal stress during
pregnancy, there remains a significant gap in understanding the influence of pre-pregnancy …

Traumatic events that affect physiology and behavior in the current generation may also
impact future generations. We demonstrate that an ecologically realistic degree of predation …

Mounting evidence indicates that histone modifications are involved in aging-associated
cognitive decline (AACD) and can be transmitted to offspring over multiple generations …

Given prior literature focused on the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease
framework, there is strong rationale to hypothesize that reducing depression in the prenatal …

Predation threat impacts prey behavior, physiology, and fitness. Stress-mediated alterations
to the paternal epigenome can be transmitted to offspring via the germline, conferring a …

Chronic stress and alcohol (ethanol) use are highly interrelated and can change an
individual's behavior through molecular adaptations that do not change the DNA sequence …

Prenatal insult exposure effects on the offspring, have and are still considered the main
interest of most teratological studies, while paternal and maternal preconception effects …
