This study maps somatosensory processing in awake dogs using fMRI, identifying activation in primary and secondary somatosensory areas and other regions, with evidence of lateralization and higher-order processing.

This study compares the neural networks involved in action observation between dogs and humans using fMRI, finding similar somatosensory and temporal lobe involvement but less parietal lobe engagement in dogs.

This study identifies functionally similar occipito-temporal regions in dogs and humans involved in perceiving animate entities and bodies, with humans showing additional face-specific regions.

The paper validates a new coil array for dog fMRI, showing improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to human knee coils in structural and functional imaging.

This paper develops a tailored haemodynamic response function for dogs, improving fMRI detection power by accounting for species-specific differences in BOLD signal timing.
