Re: Abnormal brain structure, poor memory, schizophrenia.
Well, it is January, isn't it? That is when Neuropsychopharmacology publishes its annual epigenics issue. Transgenerational epigenics is a fairly new field and raises many more questions than answers. There are other possibilities for the findings here than epigenetic imprinting during gametogenesis (environmental stress, maternal perception of mate fitness), and unanswered questions about fault correction failure during embryogenesis. Add to that the imperfect mapping of the genome of ratus ratus to that of homo sapiens sapiens (Congressional GOP caucus notwithstanding), and the article falls short of "directly refuting" anything. I am not saying it is bad science, but it is not the god particle you are looking for.
