Do we inherit out father's emotions and out mother's brains? On first thoughts, such an idea might seem ridiculous. However, pioneering research on mice reveals that the mother's genes play a major part in development of the parts of the offsprings' brains that are responsible for their intelligence. The father's genes, on the other hand, may shape not his offspring's looks so much as those parts of their brains that influence emotional makeup.The findings, published in a recent issue of "New Scientist", a British science journal, hafe far reaching implications for the humans.
