Rare genetic mutation linked to psychiatric illnesses, obesityÌý

B Charlie Fidelman, GAZETTE Health Reporter October 8, 2012Ìý

From the lab of CIFAR Fellow Michael Meaney (Â鶹ԼÅÄ): Scientists have provided evidence that socioeconomic status affects family function and the development and function of brain regions that are critical for attention, learning and memory. Meaney's lab looks into how parenting produces lasting effects on cognitive and emotional development. His lab examined development in rats and found parental influences on the chemical, or 'epigenetic', signals that control the activity in the brain of genes that influence the connections between brain cells as well as learning and memory.
