Abstract
⺠In rodents, communal nest (CN) rearing is an early social enrichment. ⺠CN rearing markedly affects brain function and behavior at adulthood. ⺠CN leads to epigenetic changes: high levels of histone acetylation at the BDNF gene structure. ⺠Such changes modify the rapidity of induction of protein expression after a challenge. ⺠The epigenetic changes do not modify the BDNF levels at steady-state conditions.
