The specific anatomical and physiological features of dog olfaction allow humans to achieve outstanding results in the detection of drugs, explosives, and different illnesses, such as cancer, diabetes, or infectious disease.
21 sie 2021 · Olfaction in dogs is crucial for gathering important information about the environment, recognizing individuals, making decisions, and learning. It is far more specialized and sensitive than ...
1 lut 2024 · In comparison to humans, dogs can detect significantly smaller amounts of odorants due to the high number and density of olfactory neurons, the way airflow runs in nasal cavity, and how the information is centrally processed (Alvites et al., 2023).
Compared to humans, dogs have significantly larger surface area of olfactory epithelium, with approximately 30% more ORs that can recognize a much larger variety of odorants. Dogs also have the capability for excellent odor localization, even in presence of significant background odor, likely due to the larger nasal cavity size as compared to ...
24 wrz 2018 · We argue that in order to assess dog cognition, we need to regard dogs from three different perspectives: phylogenetically, as carnivoran and specifically a canid; ecologically, as social, cursorial hunters; and anthropogenically, as a domestic animal.
2 gru 2015 · Given that human olfactory capacity is better than expected and very influential in our daily life – and this in a species that considers the sense of smell of little importance – how much more important are odors to the animals that we manage? Perhaps our (human) lack of recognition of the importance of olfaction in guiding our behavior ...
21 paź 2023 · Understanding cognitive processes in dogs as they relate to olfaction, such as memory, category and abstract-concept learning capabilities, the nature of their representations of olfactory objects, and their ability to extract measures of quantity from olfactory discrimination is vital to ensuring dogs are employed efficiently in these jobs ...
