Scicomm Article Research Studies
On this page, I will be presenting the most important sources of my research. Below are three annotated bibliographies from my three most important sources that I found.
Name of Article 1: Two Separate Brain Networks for Predicting Trainability and Tracking Training-Related Plasticity in Working Dogs
Citation: Deshpande, Gopikrishna, et al. “Two Separate Brain Networks for Predicting Trainability and Tracking Training-Related Plasticity in Working Dogs.” Animals: An Open Access Journal from MDPI, vol. 14, no. 7, 2024, p. 1082, doi:10.3390/ani14071082.
The name of this article is Two Separate Brain Networks for Predicting Trainability and Tracking Training-Related Plasticity in Working Dogs. The lead researcher is Sinan Zhao and he has a cast of other researchers working with him on the brain plasticity of dogs. In this article, they conducted tests by doing several experiments with dogs and their ability to follow human commands. In the end, they found that dogs had a new neural pathway that could allow for easier training of dogs. The so-what is that training of dogs will be less costly and simpler to help breed a new class of successful service dogs. The article connects to the other two because they also offer information about how dogs have different types of neural pathways. This data can support or be supported since there are good experiments and also good claims about the data.

The name of this article is Epilepsy is more than a simple seizure disorder: Parallels between human and canine cognitive and behavioural comorbidities. The lead researcher is Saskia I. Peek and she has worked with many other researchers specifically on epilepsy in dogs and how this affects their wellbeing. In this article, they carry out several different psychiatric tests in which the dog responses are found to be negative to certain things and positive to others. The so-what of this article is to find if there are signs to dogs being more prone to epilepsy or not and what people can do to prevent this if possible. This article relates to the other articles again due to the fact that it discusses dogs and their neural functions. Although it is about epilepsy and not specifically about brain function, it still carries some important aspects that can be related to it.

The name of this article is Oral treatment with the all-d-peptide RD2 enhances cognition in aged beagle dogs – A model of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. The lead researcher is Janine Kutzsche and she worked on certain drugs and therapies to help dogs and other canines feel better. In this article, they carried out several different tests with the pharmaceutical drug RD2 and saw if it could help at all with short-term memory in canines and fighting Alzheimer's. The so-what of this article is to find if there are solutions to the disease of Alzheimers and if so, how they can treat this disease with the RD2. This could allow dogs to live more fruitful and enjoyable lives and improve their quality of life. This article relates to the other articles in how it connects brain function and dog behavior. In addition, it relates to other because the tests are being used to improve dog lives.

The so-what of this article is better to understand dog behavior and response to certain actions. This will eventually lead to further knowledge about how dog brains function This article relates to the other articles because it discusses the cognition of dogs and has tests in which humans and dogs physically interact.
