Gary writes "A team from the University of Tokyo have genetically engineered a mouse that does not fear cats. By tweaking genes to disable certain functions of the olfactory bulb (the area of the brain that receives information about smells directly from olfactory receptors in the nose) the researchers were able to create a "fearless" mouse that does not try to flee when it smells cats, foxes and other predators."
