Prenatal stress induces spatial memory deficits and epigenetic changes in the hippocampus indicative of heterochromatin formation and reduced gene expression

•Effects of chronic unpredictable prenatal stress were tested in adult offspring.•Prenatal stress impaired spatial memory in adult male and female offspring.•Prenatally stressed females had less H3 acetylation and higher DNMT1 levels.•Prenatally stressed females had higher plasma corticosterone leve...
