📄 Published in Imaging Neuroscience @ImagingNeurosci 🙏 Huge thanks to @LabHecht and @Sophie_A_Barton 📍@HarvardHEB @Harvard
Hey @colossal. Wanna scan your dire wolves' brains? My lab at Harvard University does non-invasive MRI scans in dogs, foxes, and more!
Using non-invasive MRI, we found a pathway in dog brains that predicts receptive vocabulary size. It’s left-lateralized & connects regions that produce and perceive vocal communication. A convergently evolved arcuate fasciculis? Read at @CurrentBiology: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
I emailed Dr. Trut as a no-name grad student asking if I could do MRI research with her foxes. She didn’t write me off & 15 years later I have a lab at Harvard continuing to study the amazing animals she helped create. She made an impact in science & my life. Thank you, Dr. Trut.
Lyudmila Trut devoted her life to studying the process of domestication by selectively breeding friendly foxes trib.al/RracGzx
