New research is showing that farm animals may be capable of much more than we think. The findings could offer insights into how domestication shaped their brains and could even change how we house and treat them. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/56v

In a new Science study, researchers discovered that the hormonal milieu of pregnancy remodels a distinct population of hypothalamic neurons in mice that mediates the onset of parental behavior before giving birth. Learn more: scim.ag/4x6; scim.ag/4x7

Teaching kids about animal behaviour is crucial to raising awareness on animal welfare issues. For this reason, @APigsHeart & @goatsthatstare just published an overview on animal emotions that can be used as an educational resource in schools & beyond. kids.frontiersin.org/article…

New paper out - and that's a very special one. @APigsHeart and I wrote a piece on animal emotions and how to assess them for @FrontYoungMinds - a journal dedicated to sharing recent developments in research with kids and teens. kids.frontiersin.org/article…
