A new brain imaging study from the ELTE NAP Canine Brain Research group has revealed that age and brain shape affect how strongly olfactory brain regions are connected. The researchers used resting-state fMRI on awake dogs to map olfactory functional connectivity. Published in Scientific Reports, this study marks the first exploration of this network in dogs and how it relates to individual characteristics.
