Neural substrates underlying stress susceptibility in virgin female mice confer stress-coping in mother mice
Disruptions in caregiving can lead to profound impacts on emotional and physical development in young across species, including humans. Here, we examine the divergent impact of stress on mouse caregiving neural circuitry in alloparental and maternal females.
How genes, schools, and residential areas shape achievement together
It’s widely known that children's achievement is shaped by a complex mix of genetic and environmental factors, but robust examples of gene-environment interactions have been elusive. A population-wide, multigenerational study sheds new light on this.
