An undated handout photo shows a cat and a brown mouse within an inch of each other. Fear may be linked to the sense of smell, and can be switched off simply by shutting down certain receptors in the brain, Japanese scientists have found. In an experiment with mice, the researchers identified and removed certain receptors on the olfactory bulb of their brains -- and the result was a batch of fearless rodents.

Look who's been playing with their side bars!
That cat looks like Lucy. The mouse looks like the ones that live in my basement. Ahhhh!
Fearless rodents cannot be a good thing. And definitely NOT cute. But the picture is pretty cute.
I successfully live-trapped and removed a mouse from our basement today! Hooray! Humans-1 Mice-?
