Epigenetic modulation is found to get involved in multiple neurobehavioral processes. It is believed that different types of environmental stimuli could alter the epigenome of the whole brain or related neural circuits, subsequently contributing to the long-lasting neural plasticity of certain behavioral phenotypes. While the maternal influence on the health of offsprings has been long recognized, recent findings highlight an alternative way for neurobehavioral phenotypes to be passed on to the…

It is discovered that maternal stimulation could reduce the immunity of laying hens and their offspring, resulting in a decrease in egg-laying rate, which could be regulated by the transcriptome's transgenerational transmission.

Prenatal undernutrition can compromise male germline epigenetic reprogramming and thus permanently alter DNA methylation in the sperm of adult offspring at regions resistant to zygotic reprograming, as well as contribute to the intergenerational transmission of environmentally induced disease.
