This effect is apparent even at the level of the DNA of the individual; the activity of genes implicated in brain development and function are directly regulated by the social environment.
4 Summary The experience of the child is biologically embedded and serves to influence health and capacity over the lifespan. This effect is apparent even at the level of the DNA of the individual; the activity of genes implicated in brain development and function are directly regulated by the social environment. This effect is potentially stable over time; the imprint of of childhood adversity on the genome is apparent at later ages, providing a biological basis for an enduring effect on health and capacity.
5 The development of an individual is an active process of adaptation that occurs within a social and economic context: To resource (food, shelter, safety) availability. To social interactions (e.g., parental signals).
6 The development of an individual is an active process of adaptation that occurs within a social and economic context: To resource (food, shelter, safety) availability. To social interactions. This influence is apparent in the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate genomic structure and function

For most species, there is no single, optimal phenotype.

12 Environmental regulation of phenotypic variation What is the biological basis for programming effects whereby environmental signals acting over perinatal development associate with stable changes in transcription and complex phenotypes (physiology, behaviour)?
13 Summary Parental care affects the activity of genes in the brain that regulate stress responses, neural development and reproduction. This parental effect involves a form a plasticity at the level of the DNA. Epigenetics: Any functional change in the genome that does not involve an alteration of DNA sequence.

74 Conclusions The function of the genome is regulated by epigenetic signals that are subject to environmental regulation. These epigenetic signals reflect the quality of the dearly environment, and guide the development and function of the brain. These effects are potentially stable, but are subject to modification, potentially over the lifespan.
