Study links lasting maternal brain changes to dopamine signal
A new Nature study in mice traces long-term brain changes associated with motherhood to a dopamine-linked epigenetic mechanism, while also finding similar signatures in human brain tissue.
Key Takeaways
- Researchers tied long-term maternal brain changes to dopamine-linked histone dopaminylation.
- Mouse mothers showed memory and infant-cue advantages that stress could block.
