Epigenetic influences on brain development and plasticity
Open accessAbstract
A fine interplay exists between sensory experience and innate genetic programs leading to the sculpting of neuronal circuits during early brain development. Recent evidence suggests that the dynamic regulation of gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms is at the interface between environmental stimuli and long lasting molecular, cellular and complex behavioral phenotypes acquired during periods of developmental plasticity. Understanding these mechanisms may give insight into the formation of critical periods and provide new strategies for increasing plasticity and adaptive change in adulthood.

Early stages of life from embryonic development through adolescence are a time window when there is greater susceptibility to environmental toxins than at later periods in life.
“These early stages are a time window when there is greater susceptibility to environmental toxins than at later periods in life.68–70”
From Epigenetic regulation in major depression and other stress-related disorders: molecular mechanisms, clinical relevance and therapeutic potential (2023) · cites this paper as [68]
The Introduction section on early-life experiences (page not provided) describes prenatal and postnatal development as a critical window in which environmental experiences can have lasting effects. The section on critical-period plasticity also describes reduced sensitivity later in development. Neither passage establishes greater susceptibility to environmental toxins specifically, or a window extending through adolescence. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
