DNA methylation

DNA methylation DNA methylation is a common epigenetic change in which methyl groups are added to DNA bases, which can influence how strongly a gene is transcribed and expressed.

DNA methylation is a common epigenetic change in which methyl groups are added to DNA bases, which can influence how strongly a gene is transcribed and expressed. In this context, methylation of the BDNF gene can alter BDNF protein production and thereby affect neural processes linked to cognition.
