If you search for "mice" and "stathmin" you will find articles like this one:
http://www.medpagetoday.com/PublicHealthPolicy/Genetics/tb/2170 - "Lacking Gene, Mice Become Nearly Fearless - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today"
The original article is published in Cell Online in the November 18, 2005 Issue.
I haven't looked into the details, but the gist is that without the stathmin gene, mice are more fearless.
Of interest to PCTers are the possibilities and consequences of a gene affecting the organization of the mouse's hierarchy
Sincerely,

Nice catch!

Today NewScientist covered this story as well as another with similar but vastly greater speculation, if it interests:
"The food you eat may change your genes for life"
(and perhaps "turn a badly raised rat into a more normal one")
