I am also checking to see if this works.
I found this article on the NY Times website that links DNA to behavior in mice. I found it interesting because there has been a long-standing debate on Nature vs. Nurture. Studies about different animals could prove that behavior comes from one side more than the other.

Wow that's pretty interesting, especially how the neuro-structure of mice/rats being similar to that of humans.
I wonder though if the sections in which the researchers are studying are just specific factors on a vast array of what we consider to be a personality. In this case it seems to be just whether or not an animal is cautious enough to have an escape route or not.
