This study examines how human-pig interactions affect neurotransmitter and proteome levels, finding significant effects on beta-endorphin and 5-HIAA but not on oxytocin, dopamine metabolites, or the proteome.

This study uses fMRI to examine brain responses to human stroking in pigs with and without prior positive interactions, finding differences in activation patterns associated with positive or novel stimuli.
