Fondation IPSEN, Nature Neuroscience and Nature Genetics present:
An Emergence & Convergence mini-symposium-
Epigenetics & Behavior
Environmental experience can lead to long-lasting changes in the brain and behavior, which may be
mediated in part by epigenetic mechanisms, such as histone modifi cation. This one-day meeting will
draw on Houston’s research community along with leading experts from other universities. Speakers
will address the role of epigenetics in memory, drug addiction, maternal care and stress reactivity, the
effects of endocrine disruption and human disorders such as Rett and Angelman syndromes.
