Loss Of Fear Factor Makes Timid Mouse Bold

Loss Of Fear Factor Makes Timid Mouse Bold: "Several years ago, Kandel, Shumyatsky, and their colleagues studied the first of these genes, GRP, in detail and found that it encodes a protein that inhibits the fear-learning circuitry in the brain. GRP does not, however, play a role in innate fear � demonstrating that the two fear pathways are genetically distinct."
