Research investigating epigenetics and chromatin function in brain and behaviour has mushroomed over the last two decades. And yet epigenetics as a biological concept predates the discovery in the 1950s of DNA as the principle mode of inheritance by over a decade. This review explores the past, present and future research into epigenetics as it relates to understanding brain development and function.
在过去二十年中，有关表观遗传学以及染色质在大脑和行为方面功能的研究迅速增长。然而，表观遗传学作为一个生物学概念，比20世纪50年代DNA作为主要遗传模式的发现还要早十多年。这篇综述探讨了与理解大脑发育和功能相关的表观遗传学的过去、现在和未来研究。
