Maternal care, gene expression, and the transmission of individual differences in stress reactivity across generations.
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the importance of parental care as a mediator of the effects of environmental adversity on neural development and patterns of maternal care that increase stress reactivity in offspring are enhanced by stressors imposed on the mother.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal care, hippocampal synaptogenesis and cognitive development in rats.
TL;DR: The offspring of mothers that show high levels of pup licking and grooming and arched-back nursing showed increased expression of NMDA receptor subunit and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA, increased cholinergic innervation of the hippocampus and enhanced spatial learning and memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in maternal care in the rat as a mediating influence for the effects of environment on development.
TL;DR: Findings indicate considerable, normal variations in licking/grooming in the rat that are a stable, individual characteristic of rat dams.

Environmental programming of stress responses through DNA methylation: life at the interface between a dynamic environment and a fixed genome.
Michael J. Meaney,Moshe Szyf +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the structural modifications of the DNA can be established through environmental programming and that, in spite of the inherent stability of this epigenomic marker, it is dynamic and potentially reversible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
The Battered-Child Syndrome
TL;DR: The battered-child syndrome, a clinical condition in young children who have received serious physical abuse, is a frequent cause of permanent injury or death and should be considered in any child exhibiting evidence of fracture of any bone, subdural hematoma, failure to thrive, soft tissue swellings or skin bruising.

Attachment as an Organizational Construct
L. Alan Sroufe,Everett Waters +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the major dimension of individual differences has been conceptualized in terms of quantitative differences in the "strength" of attachments, and a variety of discrete behaviors (touch, look, smile, approach, cling, cry) have been assumed to be valid indicators of this dimension.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the theory and practice of shaking infants : Its potential residual effects of permanent brain damage and mental retardation
TL;DR: The evidence is invited which supports the concept that the whiplash-shaking and jerking of infants are frequently pathogenic and often result in grave permanent damage to infantile brains and eyes.
