Pet ownership is associated with greater cognitive and brain health in a cross-sectional sample across the adult lifespan
Contributor(s):: McDonough, I. M., Erwin, H. B., Sin, N. L., Allen, R. S.
Human-animal interactions that stem from pet ownership have a wide range of benefits for social, emotional, and physical health. These factors also tend to improve cognition. Following this logic, owning a pet could indirectly enhance cognitive and brain health through mechanisms like...

Changes in Stereotypies: Effects over Time and over Generations
Contributor(s):: Tatemoto, Patricia, Broom, Donald M., Zanella, Adroaldo J.
Stereotypies comprise a wide range of repeated and apparently functionless behaviors that develop in individuals whose neural condition or environment results in poor welfare. While stereotypies are an indicator of poor welfare at the time of occurrence, they may have various consequences....

Attachment towards the Owner Is Associated with Spontaneous Sleep EEG Parameters in Family Dogs
| Contributor(s):: Carreiro, Cecília, Reicher, Vivien, Kis, Anna, Gácsi, Márta
Affective neuroscience studies have demonstrated the impact of social interactions on sleep quality. In humans, trait-like social behaviors, such as attachment, are related to sleep brain activity patterns. Our aim was to investigate associations between companion dogs’ spontaneous brain...

The influence of cerebral lateralisation on the behaviour of the racing greyhound
| Contributor(s):: Schneider, Luke A., Delfabbro, Paul H., Burns, Nicholas R.
The authors investigated the relationship between paw preference (the paw with which dogs prefer to hold a food object over repeated trials) and racetrack behaviour in the greyhound breed of dog (Canis familiaris). In a study of 53 racing greyhounds, it was found that individuals perform...

The basic neuroscience of emotional experiences in mammals: The case of subcortical FEAR circuitry and implications for clinical anxiety
| Contributor(s):: Panksepp, Jaak, Fuchs, Thomas, Iacobucci, Paolo
Evidence from behavioral neuroscience strongly suggests that the unconditional (innate) capacity to experience fear, along with fear-typical patterns of autonomic and behavioral arousal, arise from specific systems of the brain—the most prominent being a FEAR circuit which courses between the...
