Summary How does 'nurture' change the brain? Recent evidence suggests that maternal care may shape the infant brain by turning genes 'on' or 'off' during development. Some of the genes affected are important for maternal and social behaviour leading to long-term changes in the nurturing behaviour of offspring. These studies provide new insights into the inheritance of behaviour and the interactions between genes and the social environment across the lifespan.
总结 “ nurture（养育）” 如何改变大脑？最近的证据表明，母亲的照料可能通过在发育过程中打开或关闭基因来塑造婴儿的大脑。一些受影响的基因对母婴行为和社交行为很重要，会导致后代养育行为的长期变化。这些研究为行为的遗传以及一生中基因与社会环境之间的相互作用提供了新的见解。
