Neuroscience on Heritability - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 323 Heritability/personality traits/neuroscience/DeYoung/Gray: Heritability estimates for personality traits are typically around 50 per cent or higher, indicating that the distal sources of personality lie in both the genome and the environment (Bouchard 1994;(1) Loehlin 1992(2); Riemann, Angleitner and Strelau 1997)(3). Both genes and environment must make their mark on the brain, however, if they are to have a lasting influence on personality. >Personality traits/Neuroscience, >Heritability. 1. Bouchard, T.
