Journal ArticleDOI

Lasting epigenetic influence of early-life adversity on the BDNF gene.

TL;DR: An epigenetic molecular mechanism potentially underlying lifelong and transgenerational perpetuation of changes in gene expression and behavior incited by early abuse and neglect is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic Regulation of bdnf Gene Transcription in the Consolidation of Fear Memory

TL;DR: Results suggest epigenetic modification of the bdnf gene as a mechanism for isoform-specific gene readout during memory consolidation in the hippocampus suggests selective changes in gene expression are required for long-term memory formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence That DNA (Cytosine-5) Methyltransferase Regulates Synaptic Plasticity in the Hippocampus

TL;DR: In this article, the role of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) activity in regulating the induction of synaptic plasticity was examined and it was found that the DNA within promoters for reelin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor exhibited rapid and dramatic changes in cytosine methylation when DNMT activity was inhibited.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic modification of hippocampal Bdnf DNA in adult rats in an animal model of post-traumatic stress disorder

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that traumatic stress occurring in adulthood can induce CNS gene methylation, and the hypothesis that epigenetic marking of the Bdnf gene may underlie hippocampal dysfunction in response to traumatic stress is supported.
