The study shows that early-life social interactions in female mice influence the stability of social hierarchies in adulthood.

This study shows environmental enrichment counteracts age-related DNA methylation changes in the hippocampus of mice, preventing CpG hypomethylation at Mecp2 target sites and preserving neuronal functions.

The paper identifies high ROS levels in quiescent adult hippocampal stem cells and shows how physical activity triggers their activation through a Nox2-dependent ROS surge.

This study shows that early-life environmental enrichment in mice leads to persistent individualized behaviors and lasting epigenetic changes in the hippocampus.

The paper shows that enriched environment increases inter-individual variability in brain and behavior traits in mice.
