Early-life stress leaves a 'scar' inside brain cells in mice
A mouse study finds changes to DNA packaging form a molecular memory of trauma, making the brain vulnerable to future stress.
Summary
Research on mice reveals that early-life stress alters DNA packaging in brain cells, creating a lasting molecular memory that increases susceptibility to future stressors. This study sheds light on the biological impacts of trauma and its potential long-term effects on mental health.
