Early Stress Rewires Brain Chemistry | Science News
Childhood stress doesn’t just linger emotionally—it leaves a biological fingerprint on the brain, priming us for anxiety and depression later. Scientists have discovered how early adversity alters DNA packaging via an enzyme called SETD7, which loosens gene control and makes brain cells hyper-reactive to future stress. Remarkably, blocking this enzyme after early trauma prevented lasting behavioral changes in mice, offering hope for future treatments that could build resilience by targeting epigenetic switches.
