amount of maternal care, the consistency over time of that care and the exposure to novelty are also very important not only in rodents (23, 75) but also, monkey models (76).

characteristics of maternal care received in the first week of life.
These findings have been complemented by studies of the effects of prolonged maternal separation (22), novelty exposure and
consistency of maternal care (23), prenatal stress (24), postnatal maternal abuse (25), and maternal anxiety (26) on subsequent brain and behavioral development.
Moreover, they have shown that, through differential patterns of DNA methylation of the promoter region and thereby differential expression of the estrogen receptor alpha gene in the medial preoptic area (MPOA) of the brain, this individual variation of early experience influences adult reproductive behaviour, suggesting a mechanism for intergenerational transmission of the pattern of maternal care [137, 138].
