A similar iconic status, especially for its possible implications for social research, has been reached by Meaney's (2001b) study on how variations in maternal behavior of rats alter methylation patterns in the offspring and how these epigenetic alterations affect the next generation, but can be reversed by cross-fostering the pups to more "affective mothers".
