Prenatal maternal life adversity impacts on learning and memory in offspring: implication to transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Prenatal maternal life adversity impacts on learning and memory in offspring: implication to transgenerational epigenetic inheritance

Maternal stress exposure during pregnancy is known to affect offspring behavior, including learning and memory. We hypothesized that maternal stress-induced changes transmit this effect through maternal line mediated transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. To test our hypothesis, pregnant rats (F0...
