Desmet, Charlotte, Van Der Wiel, Alko, Brass, Marcel. (2017). “Brain regions involved in observing and trying to interpret dog behavior”. PLOS One. Edited by Sam Gilbert.

The authors in this article are informing their readers if parts of the brain that process human behavior are also involved in processing dog behavior. In order to attain accurate results on this matter, the author gives FMRI scans to see which parts of the brain are used when processing dog behavior. Due to FMRI scans, the author is able to state accurate information on the topic. The result states that brain regions are more receptive to dog behaviors that are hard to respond to than those that are easy to respond to. The authors also performed a search on whether owning a dog has an effect on understanding dog behavior. Being a dog owner, does influence ones understanding in a dog’s behavior but it does not have enough factual information for it to be considered accurate. This article withholds information that can be helpful to people that are researching about the parts of the brain used when interpreting dogs behavior as well as the differences in dog and human brains and the way the parts of the brain work.
