Neuroscience study reveals shared processing of human and dog facial expressions

A recent study found that human brains process emotional expressions from humans and dogs similarly, with empathy enhancing attention to emotional cues. Aggressive faces elicited stronger neural responses, highlighting our sensitivity to emotionally significant stimuli across species.

The Dog Aging Project

https://caninechronicle.com/current-articles/canine-cognition-the-dog-aging-project/

The project started in 2014. Presently, 40,000 dogs are enrolled, and they hope to eventually recruit 100,000 for ongoing data gathering.

The big goal is to find new insights into the key factors that dictate lifespan. And so far, despite the lack of scientifically controlled conditions, this project provides tremendous insights into human health and aging.

Canine Cognition – The Dog Aging Project

By Amy Fernandez After decades of hit-and-miss efforts to extrapolate meaningful research data from fruit flies and lab rats, modern science finally realized that the best window into human health and longevity is sitting under everyone’s kitchen table. Our dogs participate in every facet of our daily lives. They breathe our air, drink our water, flop on our furniture and scarf down our food. They go everywhere and experience everything we do under the most exacting, real-time conditions. Yes, according to findings published in Scientific Reports, our prehistoric sidekick is a bounty of information on health and lifespan. That overdue discovery prompted the creation of the Dog Aging Project in 2014–an ongoing data collection project on canine illness and aging funded by the National Institute on Aging. So far, this experiment has spawned wide-ranging interest and several research trials within the academic community, including Texas A & M, the University [...]
