Early-Life Stress Leaves Epigenetic “Scars” That Prime Stress Sensitivity

Scientists linked early-life stress experience in mice to long-term stress hypersensitivity within the brain’s dopaminergic circuitry, providing a mechanism by which early-life stress increases risk for mood and anxiety disorders later in life.
