Future of Brain Health: From Developmental Insights to Clinical Translation (opens in new tab)

This review highlights brain health as a dynamic process shaped by both genetic and environmental influences throughout development. Critical periods provide unique windows of heightened neural plasticity, during which genetic-environmental interactions and parental influences profoundly impact brain maturation. Frameworks such as DOHaD, ACEs, and neurosocial plasticity elucidate how early-life experiences modulate long-term cognitive and em...
