In a Novel Theory of Mental Disorders, Parents’ Genes Are in Competition (NY Times)
(via MindHacks: a theory presented in Nature earlier this year grabs a headline in NY Times)
"Two scientists, drawing on their own powers of observation and a creative reading of recent genetic findings, have published a sweeping theory of brain development that would change the way mental disorders like autism and schizophrenia are understood.
The theory emerged in part from thinking about events other than mutations that can change gene behavior. And it suggests entirely new avenues of research, which, even if they prove the theory to be flawed, are likely to provide new insights into the biology of mental disease..."
