Abstract
NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL processes, which are genetically regulated, induce basic personality dimensions that determine inclinations to activate, preserve, or repress specific behaviors within the range available in a given society.1 Variation in personality is one important component of human individuality and this variation is due to the interaction of interindividual differences in genes and environment.2Keywords
