In recent years, scientific research has revealed significant advances in our understanding of the cognitive abilities of animals. In particular, the study of the memory in dogs It has grown into a fascinating field that not only explores canine intelligence, but also illuminates deeper aspects of their relationship with humans.
A recent study highlighted How our pets process, store and remember informationchallenging old paradigms about animal memory and offering new perspectives on the depth of their intelligence.

Can dogs think about the past?
Gregory Bernsa neuroscientist at Emory University who has studied and written about canine cognition, says that dogs and other animals appear to have the brain anatomy necessary to possess something similar to human episodic memory. A section of the brain called the hippocampus It is responsible for storing and organizing memories, and if we can do it, it is believed that dogs can too.
The findings suggest that, like humans, dogs can form long-lasting memories and use these memories to influence their behavior and interactions with humans and other animals.
