At the beginning, they stated that they think it has little to do with non-genetic factors, however, there was no evidence so far in the article that convinced me of that. This seems to be attempting to tie two (or more) things together using previous evidence that does not support their idea. If anything, it'd be an epistatic genetic link and affecting the same areas of the brain does not necessarily mean it is genetic.

Until further evidence is shown, I have little support for this idea.
