Chapter 5 - Role of epigenetics in the brain
Epigenetics in Psychiatry, pp 85-109
2021
Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms play an important regulatory role in neural processes associated with brain development and phenotypic outcome, and do so from early embryonic development through senescence. Though a complete picture has yet to emerge, it is clear that epigenetic changes promote a range of processes important for brain evolution, development, and function. Herein, we highlight key studies demonstrating a role for epigenetic mechanisms in these phenomena, including changes in phenotypes that are passed on to the next generation, gene imprinting, neural cell differentiation, neurogenesis, neuroimmune crosstalk, cognition, and psychopathology.
