abstract = {Individuals differ in their response to environmental
stimuli, but the stability of individualized behaviors and
their associated changes in brain plasticity are poorly
understood. We developed a novel model of enriched
environment to longitudinally monitor 40 inbred mice
exploring 35 connected cages over periods of 3 to 6 months.
We show that behavioral individuality that emerged during
the first 3 months of environmental enrichment persisted
when mice were withdrawn from the enriched environment for 3
additional months. Behavioral trajectories were associated
with stable interindividual differences in adult hippocampal
neurogenesis and persistent epigenetic effects on neuronal
plasticity genes in the hippocampus. Using genome-wide DNA
methylation sequencing, we show that one-third of the DNA
methylation changes were maintained after withdrawal from
the enriched environment. Our results suggest that, even
under conditions that control genetic background and shared
environment, early-life experiences result in lasting
individualized changes in behavior, brain plasticity, and
epigenetics.},
