This study shows that dogs and humans have similar neural representations of human bodily emotions, with happiness and anger encoded asymmetrically in distinct brain regions.

This paper compares neocortical sulcal anatomy across nine pinniped species to understand how cortical organization changes with adaptation to marine environments.

This study investigates neural and behavioral responses to wolves, dogs, and snakes, finding that wolves are perceived as more threatening despite similar neural responses to dogs.

The paper generates a multi-scale functional dog brain atlas using spatially constrained spectral clustering and validates its replicability and coherence across scales.

Precon_all is a pipeline for non-human cortical surface reconstruction that generalizes human methods to multiple species, enabling comparative neuroimaging studies.

This study examines neocortical sulcal anatomy across 26 carnivoran species using neuroimaging to identify patterns related to behavior and ecology.

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.
