Behavioural studies have revealed that the processing and representation of numerical magnitude are qualitatively similar across species and across human development. Reliable effects such as the ...

The results of a new canine numerosity study suggests that a common neural mechanism has been deeply conserved across mammalian evolution. Dogs spontaneously process basic numerical quantities, using ...

Dogs spontaneously process basic numerical quantities, using a distinct part of their brains that corresponds closely to number-responsive neural regions in humans, finds a study at Emory University.
