What does it mean to be a dog. And other discoveries in the field of animal neurobiology

What is it like to be a dog? Bat? Dolphin? Can we people understand this? Now yes - thanks to the scientific work of the neurobiologist and the author of the popular books of Gregory Burns. Together with his colleagues, he taught the dogs to the tomograph in order to be able to observe the processes occurring in the animal’s brain, and to analyze his thoughts and sensations. But dogs are only the beginning. Gregory Berns introduces us to news from the field of neurobiology of wild animals: sea lions are able to capture the dance rhythm, dolphins see with the help of sound and even about the marsupial wolf, which has become extinct almost a hundred years ago, can be learned due to neuroimaging. The revolutionary scientific discoveries described by Burns prove that the animals experience the same feelings as us. So, it is time for a person to reconsider his attitude towards dogs and other creatures
