Programming of stress-related behavior and epigenetic neural gene regulation in mice offspring through maternal exposure to predator odor

Perinatal stress mediated through the mother can lead to long-term alterations in stress-related phenotypes in offspring. The capacity for adaptation to adversity in early life depends in part of the life history of the animal. This study was designed to examine the behavioral and neural response in...
