Here we report that increased pup licking and grooming (LG) and arched-back nursing (ABN)
by rat mothers altered the offspring epigenome at a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene …

Variations in maternal care affect the development of individual differences in neuroendocrine
responses to stress in rats. As adults, the offspring of mothers that exhibited more licking …

▪ Abstract Naturally occurring variations in maternal care alter the expression of genes that
regulate behavioral and endocrine responses to stress, as well as hippocampal synaptic …

Human brain development occurs within a socioeconomic context and childhood socioeconomic
status (SES) influences neural development — particularly of the systems that subserve …

Variations in phenotype reflect the influence of environmental conditions during development
on cellular functions, including that of the genome. The recent integration of epigenetics …

Variations in maternal care have been widely considered as a critical influence in development.
In the rat, variations in maternal behavior, particularly in licking/grooming, regulate the …

Stress responses in the adult rat are programmed early in life by maternal care and
associated with epigenomic marking of the hippocampal exon 1 7 glucocorticoid receptor (GR) …

Maternal care influences hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function in the rat through
epigenetic programming of glucocorticoid receptor expression. In humans, childhood abuse …

In the rat, variations in maternal care appear to influence the development of behavioral and
endocrine responses to stress in the offspring. The results of cross-fostering studies …

Elevated glucocorticoid levels produce hippocampal dysfunction and correlate with individual
deficits in spatial learning in aged rats. Previously we related persistent cortisol increases …
