Flashermac Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 TOKYO - Cat and mouse may never be the same. Japanese scientists say they've used genetic engineering to create mice that show no fear of felines, a development that may shed new light on mammal behavior and the nature of fear itself. Scientists at Tokyo University say they were able to successfully switch off a mouse's instinct to cower at the smell or presence of cats â?? showing that fear is genetically hardwired and not learned through experience, as commonly believed. Be afraid! Be very afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Hi, I've just left whatever is default in the code. Could probably add more tags, but would require mucking with the code. Don't think it is worth it. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
