The language understanding area in #dog #brains appears left lateralized just like in human brains, but not in other primates, which is remarkable given their evolutionary divergence. Erin Hecht argues this is an example of convergent #evolution. #CanineScience #CSC2024

Four the final talk in the Working Dogs session at #CSC2024, we have Alessia Diana of @PurdueUniv32656 speaking about the association between early-age stress susceptibility and performance outcomes in #detection #dogs #caninescience

During aggression between wolves, three different threatening faces can appear, while during play, two. Playful and aggressive facial displays always differ in key elements to clearly disambiguate messages. #CanineScience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
