“…Studies have been using p-ICA to correlate biological pathways with variations in gray matter density, which represents an important tool to identify an anatomical-functional basis for a behavioral phenotype (Khadka et al, 2016;Miguel et al, 2019). Additionally, stressors in early life are known to alter the expression of genes and cellular processes that influence behavior, and one of the molecular processes that contributes to this change is DNA methylation (Vinkers et al, 2015;Hing et al, 2018). However, the mechanisms linking these associations need to be further investigated.…”
