Popis: Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance is a burgeoning field that has recently garnered much attention. A growing body of evidence identifies behavioral phenotypes associated with inter-, multi-, and transgenerational studies following a wide variety of parental exposures. This chapter in current topics in behavioral neurogenomics examines the evidence for the presence of behavioral phenotypes and, in particular, the varied and often opposite behavioral responses observed with protocol shifts. Effects following parental exposure to drugs of abuse are used as an example of the wide range of behavioral outcomes and the variability associated with these multiple generation studies. The behavioral phenotypes associated with drug exposure are reviewed in depth.
