This study examines the impact of parental stress on offspring behavior, focusing on the miR212/132 gene in mice. Behavioral tests and genetic experiments, including RNA analysis and CRISPR-Cas9 editing, reveal significant behavioral changes in offspring from stressed parents. The miR212/132 gene plays a key role in these changes, offering insights into how stress affects future generations.
