AN INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTIVENESS OF SIMULATION IN DEVELOPING ORAL SKILLS: A CASE STUDY (2013, neutral): “Meaney, M.J. (2001). Maternal care, gene expression, and the transmission of individual differences in stress reactivity across generations.”
Variations in maternal care in the rat as a mediating influence for the effects of environment on development. (2003, background): “We believe that the findings on intergenerational transmission via maternal behavior represent an adaptive approach to development [29,34].”
Epigenetics and the biological definition of gene x environment interactions. (2010, background): “Hinde’s (1986) formulation implies an adaptive function for parental effects in preparing the offspring for the environmental demands that are likely to prevail during development and into adulthood (also see Bateson et al., 2004; Gluckman & Hanson, 2004; Meaney, 2001).”
Evolution and ontogeny of stress response to social challenges in the human child (2006, background): “Exposure to pre-natal maternal stress, or prolonged separation from mother in rodents and non-human primates, can result in life-long changes in HPA stress response (Anisman, Zaharia, Meaney, & Merali, 1998; Caldji et al., 1998; Cameron et al., 2005; Maccari et al., 2003; Meaney, 2001; Suomi, 1997; ”
Social networks and health: A life course perspective integrating observational and experimental evidence (2009, background): “Also in rats, differences in maternal behavior, such as licking, are associated with stress reactivity in offspring (Caldji, Diorio, & Meaney, 2000; Meaney, 2001), demonstrating the role of the social environment in early life on lifelong physiology.”
Transgenerational effects of posttraumatic stress disorder in babies of mothers exposed to the World Trade Center attacks during pregnancy. (2005, background): “Even in rodents, results of cross-fostering studies demonstrate that even brief exposures in postnatal maternal care during a critical period can have permanent neuroendocrine effects in offspring (19).”
Epigenetic regulation of the glucocorticoid receptor in human brain associates with childhood abuse (2009, background): “2270" language="eng" publish="issue" relation="no"> There are maternal effects on the development of individual differences in behavioral and HPA stress responses in rodents and nonhuman primate”
Addiction and the brain antireward system. (2008, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. ANRV331-PS59-02 ARI 1 December 2007 15:57 Allostasis: stability through change gene expression changes (Lemaire et al. 2006, Meaney 2001, Vallée et al. 1999, Weaver et al. 2004).”
Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior (2004, positive): “In the rat, such effects are mediated by variations in maternal behavior, which serve as the basis for the transmission of individual differences in stress responses from mother to offsprin”
Investing in Our Young People (2010, positive): “This has been found in animal species (Suomi, 1999; Meaney, 2001; Cameron, 2004) and in humans (Duncan, Dowsett, Claessens, Magnuson, Huston, Klebanov et al.”
The Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales: Normative Data and Implications (2003, background): “Animal data has indicated that the quality of maternal care, as monitored by amount of ano-genital licking, can have lifelong consequences for offspring, yielding transgenerational benefits where caring attitudes are passed on to the next generation via nongenetic means (Meaney, 2001).”
Resilience in developing systems: Progress and promise as the fourth wave rises (2007, background): “How does early experience influence gene expression or the development of stress-related regulatory systems (Boyce & Ellis, 2005; Gunnar & Vazquez, 2006; McEwen, 1998; Meaney, 2001; Trevarthen, Aitken, Vandekerckhove, Delafield-Butt, & Nagy, 2006)?”
Meditation and the neuroscience of consciousness (2007, background): “And the detailed molecular pathways by which experience can alter gene expression have now been worked out in this model (Meaney, 2001).”
