One way for that to happen is
through changes in gene expression, but changes in phosphorylation are equally effective,» explains Beltrao.

What we found is that the ability of this chronic social stress to produce maladaptive
changes in brain and behavior — loss of pleasure, inability to sleep normally and so on — are mediated
through epigenetic modifications of
gene expression,
in particular, emotional centers of the brain.
Nestler: The ability of this chronic social stress to produce maladaptive

gene expression in particular emotional centers of the brain.
So the capacity of an organism to adapt to an environment is mediated
through epigenetic
changes in gene expression.
The brain attempts to adapt and respond to those challenges and that occurs
in large part
through changes in expression of brain
genes through epigenetic mechanisms.
Gene moonlighting can occur merely
through changes in expression, which may result from as little as a single mutation; it does not require the meandering process of random alteration and selection implied by the duplication and neofunctionalization model.
This includes how subtle
changes in gene sequences can impact the
expression of encoded proteins
through mechanisms including codon bias, mRNA stability, and translation initiation.
While there are noticeable
changes in gene expression associated with PMI, we nonetheless found that the characteristic transcriptional signature of tissues remains largely intact
through the PMI intervals considered here.
