The dog brain is also being studied at Duke University, in North Carolina. Evan MacLean is the Co-Director of the schools Canine Cognition Center. He feels the Hungarian results are an important step forward.
Weve known for a long time that dogs have a lot of behavioral similarities compared to humans. But we dont know anything or very little at least about whether some of these behaviors are represented similarly inside the brain of the dog, so this research is providing a first glimpses to whether these behavioral similarities are underlined by similar neural processes, said MacLean.
This findings are not just important to dogs and the people who love them. Mr Andics says that the study establishes a new type of comparative brain science, it expands the possibilities for research.
He says it was not possible to measure the brain activities of a non-primate and a primate in a single experiment until now. And the Hungarian scientists say the study has a message for ordinary dog owners too, treat your dogs as a friend, and not just an animal. Now, there is scientific proof that they do in fact understand what you are feeling.
