Abstract :The causes behind behavioural disorders varies from environmental to life style to interaction patterns . A new concepts emerge with the implication of epigenetics and maltreatment on behavioural biology of infants. For example, experiencing adversities during periods of maximal sensitivity to the environment, such as prenatal life, infancy and early adolescence, may introduce lasting epigenetic marks in genes that affect maturational processes in brain, thus favoring the emergence of dysfunctional behaviours, including exaggerate aggression in adulthood. All these fact lead me to conclude the unexpected effect of epigenetics on the development and formation of behaviour in depending on different inherited factors.Keywords : Behaviour, Epigenetics, infant, maltreatment, hereditary, offspring, DNA.
