Functions of imprinted genes in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Products of genes preferentially expressed from the maternal and paternal allele appear in red and blue, respectively. Products of biallelically expressed genes appear in dark gray. Products of strongly biased and monoallelically expressed imprinted genes are in bold. Lines with arrowheads represent stimulatory molecular interactions, whereas lines with notched ends represent inhibitory molecular interactions. The overall role of imprinted genes in synaptic plasticity is shown in green to indicate synaptic potentiation or activation, in pink to indicate synaptic depression or inhibition, in blue to indicate the induction of structural changes, and in brown when the contribution to synaptic transmission or plasticity remains unclear. White-filled circles with beige borders represent vesicles containing membrane receptors or channels.
