Using a powerful gene - hunting technique for the first time in mammalian brain cells, researchers at Johns Hopkins report they have identified a gene involved in building the circuitry that relays signals through the brain. (sciencedaily.com)
For example, in representative studies of mammalian brains using rats (who are far more developed at birth and much less social than humans), low maternal nurturing in the first ten days of life (equivalent to the first six months of life in humans) affects gene expression of multiple genes for the rest of life (e.g., influencing control of anxiety; Meaney, 2010).
