Cats have catnip that can suck, but what about dogs?
Scientific researchers initially trained dozens of dogs so that they could quietly image MRI without being numb and restrained. Therefore, scientific research staff can observe the dog's taste, walnut kernel body and its caudal nucleus.
The dogs are lying quietly in the MRI scanner. In the future, they each touched five different flavors, which are derived from the dog themselves, the dogs they know, the dogs they know, the people they know, and the people they are unfamiliar.
Scientific researchers found that when dogs smell the scent of people they understand, the level of stimulation in the olfactory bulb on their heads is relatively high, and this will harm the walnut kernel body and caudate nucleus, metabolizing dopamine, causing this excited and positive mentality.
At the beginning, scientific research staff only published the scientific research results. It was not until later that they realized that the head theme activities of dogs that understand people's tastes are basically the same as those of cats when they smell catnip. In other words, understanding people's taste is equivalent to "dog-scented mint", which is exactly the same saying: it is thousands of miles apart and close.
It should be said that who is the most familiar person in dogs' daily life is undoubtedly the shoveler. When dogs smell the smell of the shoveler, they will develop a relative mentality and personal behavior. Although it is not as ignorant as a cat sucks catnip, the principle behind them is indeed the same.
It is worth mentioning that scientific researchers first believed that the head reflection caused by dogs who smelled and understood people's smell was related to people's personal feeding behavior. However, later scientific research found that dogs target people who do not usually take care of their personal behaviors but know them very well, which will also cause relative head theme activities. Moreover, these things that cause people to have a positive attitude will also inspire the dog's caudate nucleus.
Therefore, scientific researchers infer that this kind of reflection is a hint of dog mentality, and they also have a positive mindset similar to people, such as love and dependence. In other words, dogs not only have emotions, but also have relatively rich and multi-faceted emotions. They can indeed treat people as their own relatives and will be happy because of dating with their hosts.
