Interacting with dogs in various activities could strengthen activity in brain areas associated with relaxation and focus, a new study has found. Interacting with dogs may affect multiple areas of ...
A dog in a pavlovian study. Research animals are a good substitute for humans because similar principles are assumed to underlie basic mechanisms of brain function. [1] In order to fully understand human memory, cross-species comparisons in neuropsychology are used so that multiple variables can be manipulated.
A study published Wednesday did exactly that: Researchers in South Korea attached headsets of electrodes to 30 adults, then measured changes in their brainwaves as they interacted with a poodle ...
Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is a disease prevalent in dogs that exhibit symptoms of dementia or Alzheimer's disease shown in humans. [1] CCD creates pathological changes in the brain that slow the mental functioning of dogs resulting in loss of memory, motor function, and learned behaviors from training early in life.
Chaser had the largest tested memory of any non-human animal. [3] [4] She was bred by Wayne West at his Flint Hill Farms in Pauline, South Carolina. [5]She was taught by her owner, Wofford College Professor Emeritus of Psychology John W. Pilley, with the formal research published in Elsevier's journals Behavioural Processes and Learning and Motivation.
One food on the top of Dr. Brady's brain food list is fatty fish, such as tuna, salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel, telling Parade, "Fatty fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA ...
The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is a cortical area in the brain comprising Brodmann areas 29 and 30. [1] It is secondary association cortex, making connections with numerous other brain regions. The region's name refers to its anatomical location immediately behind the splenium of the corpus callosum in primates, although in rodents it is ...
A person's spatial memory is required to navigate in a familiar city. A rat's spatial memory is needed to learn the location of food at the end of a maze. In both humans and animals, spatial memories are summarized as a cognitive map. [5] Spatial memory has representations within working, short-term memory and long-term memory.
