FOXP2 is expressed in many areas of the brain, [19] including the basal ganglia and inferior frontal cortex, where it is essential for brain maturation and speech and language development. [20] In mice, the gene was found to be twice as highly expressed in male pups than female pups, which correlated with an almost double increase in the number ...
A dog in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, 2017. The exact origin of the populations of dogs living in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (CNPP) and the surrounding areas of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is unknown. [1] However, it is hypothesized that these animals are the descendants of pets left behind during the original evacuation of Pripyat.
For example, when individuals suffer from a mutation that causes them to have low levels of serotonin, there is an observed increase in impulsivity and depression [8] With neurotransmitters playing a central role in the development of aggressive behaviour, it follows that many of the gene mutations that have been implicated with aggressive ...
A new study analyzed the DNA of feral dogs living near Chernobyl, compared the animals to others living 10 miles away, and found remarkable differences.
Dog intelligence or dog cognition is the process in dogs of acquiring information and conceptual skills, and storing them in memory, retrieving, combining and comparing them, and using them in new situations. [1] Studies have shown that dogs display many behaviors associated with intelligence. They have advanced memory skills, and are able to ...
The whole process took around an hour. Different activities had varying effects on participants’ brain waves. Playing and walking with a dog increased the strength of the alpha-band oscillations ...
The initial discovery of the human MYH16 mutation was published in 2004 by a team at the University of Pennsylvania led by Hansell H. Stedman. [4] The date of the mutation has variously been estimated at 2.4 million years ago [4] or 5.3 million years ago. [6] The MYH16 gene is present in dogs, [6] but does not appear to be present in mice.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some walk, some slither, some fly and some swim. Humans are blessed to share the planet with just over 2.1 million recognized species of animals.And scientists ...
