Abstract
This chapter elaborates on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the expression of neurobehavioral outcomes in psychiatric disease, including mood and psychotic disorders, addiction, and aberrant responses to stress, fear, and anxiety. These disorders provide resourceful models to uncover pathways that network core central nervous system functions with emergent human behaviors. This chapter discusses how current epigenetic paradigms for noncoding RNAs, DNA methylation, and histone modifications significantly influence development and progression of symptoms in afflicted patients.
