结果显示，和我们一样，狗狗脑中不同的区域掌管不同的语言，这也许是为何他们能被训练成人类好帮手的原因。

Researcher Dr David Reby, from the University of Sussex, said: ‘This is particularly interesting because our results suggest that the processing of speech components in the dog’s brain is divided between the two hemispheres in a way that is actually very similar to the way it is separated in the human brain.’

苏塞克斯大学的大卫·雷贝学者说道：“这很有意思，因为我们的研究成果表明了狗狗大脑也有半球分区来掌管语言，这和人类大脑有着一定相似度。”

Victoria Ratcliffe, who co-wrote the paper, added: ‘Although we cannot say how much or in what way dogs understand information in speech from our study, we can say that dogs react to both verbal and speaker-related information and that these components appear to be processed in different areas of the dog’s brain.’

论文的第二作者维多利亚·拉克特里夫补充道：“虽然从研究中，我们不能说明多大程度上狗狗明白语言中的信息，我们可以说狗狗对口头的或者说说出口的信息都会有反应，而且这些似乎是由狗狗大脑中不同的区域在掌管。”

In their paper, published in the journal Current Biology, the scientists wrote: ‘The striking correspondence between dogs’ and humans’ hemispheric biases reported here may reflect convergent evolution if dogs have been selected to respond to human vocal signals during domestication.’
