“Extraverted, responsible, neurotic… Nature identifies over a thousand genetic loci related to personality traits”
The British journal *Nature* published a study that identified more than 1,000 genetic loci associated with personality traits such as extroversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. Through large-scale genomic analysis, the study revealed the genetic basis of these personality traits. The data indicate that these genetic loci have an explanatory rate of approximately 2% for specific personality traits. Future research will focus on understanding the specific functions of these loci and their association with brain structure.
