Figure 1: The maternal immune activation model.

Figure 1:

Strong immunological stimulation of the gestating dam with immune-stimulating reagents such as Poly (I:C) or LPS (or a mild stimulus that interacts with maternal genetic susceptibility) result in epigenetic alterations including histone acetylation, DNA methylation, and microRNA expression that contribute to a spectrum of molecular alterations, neuronal dysfunctions, and behavioral phenotypes in the MIA offspring.
