I've read much psychological discussion on Dr Badcocks blog on PsychologyToday. However, given that Badcock and Crespi's imprinted brain theory recently recieved some strong support (below), I would like to know more about the theory's biological underpinnings.

Opposite risk patterns for autism and schizophrenia are associated with normal variation in birth size: phenotypic support for hypothesized diametric gene-dosage effects.

 

What are imprinted genes? How could they make such general inferences about paternal-maternal baises in gene expression or silencing?
