In fact, in rodents, maternal experiences exert a marked transgenerational impact and influence offspring’s phenotype at behavioral (learning and memory abilities, attentional performance, coping response to stress, social behavior, anxiety levels) and neurobiological (synaptic plasticity, methylation in frontal and hippocampal areas, hippocampal neurogenesis, striatal and cerebellar neurotrophins) levels62,63. Here, BDNF is linked to Anxiety.
