3DBrainMiner: An open-source platform for modelling and visualizing the brain as graphs

Graph-based modeling is widely used to represent the structural and functional complexity of the brain, supporting applications such as disease prediction, pathology …

Cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex

The auditory cortex is central to auditory perception, but its detailed structural organization in sheep (Ovis aries) has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we sought …

Are olfactory stimuli able to induce emotional responses in a positive context in ewes?

The perception of olfactory stimuli can influence animal emotions and behaviors, which are critical for survival and adaptation. This study explored the properties of three …

Sheep (Ovis aries) training protocol for voluntary awake and unrestrained structural brain MRI acquisitions

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique that requires the participant to be completely motionless. To date, MRI in awake and unrestrained animals has only been …

The use and impact of auditory stimulation in animals

Music can cause pleasant sensations in humans whereas some noises can cause discomfort. The effects of music and noise have also been somewhat studied in animals, showing different …

“BAA, BAA”: Can sheep talk to each other?

If you have ever been out to the countryside in the spring, you might have heard sheep bleating to their lambs. Sheep also bleat when they are separated from the flock or stressed …

Maternal deprivation and milk replacement affect the integrity of gray and white matter in the developing lamb brain

The psychoendocrine evaluation of lamb development has demonstrated that maternal deprivation and milk replacement alters health, behavior, and endocrine profiles. While lambs are …

A novel male Japanese quail structural connectivity atlas using ultra-high field diffusion MRI at 11.7 T

The structural connectivity of animal brains can be revealed using post-mortem diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite the existence of several structural …
