A study has shown that cats can perceive the emotional tone of human speech, but they are unable to distinguish specific emotions based solely on voice. To accurately understand a person's mood, they likely also need visual cues.
A new study has shown that both dogs and wolves are able to detect the scent of human fear, and their reactions to it are similar. This suggests that such sensitivity has ancient origins, likely developing in the common ancestor of these species.
Учёные выяснили, что повышенное потребление воды после стресса связано с работой особой нейронной цепи, которая снижает тревожность. Это открытие может привести к новым подходам в лечении тревожных расстройств.
A new study has shown that the effectiveness of GLP-1 therapy for type 2 diabetes depends on the patient's eating behavior. The greatest success is seen in those who tend to overeat in response to external cues rather than emotions.

The study showed that chicks experience positive emotions from gentle handling, which reduces their stress and promotes better growth and immunity. Treating birds kindly is beneficial not only from an ethical standpoint but also from a practical perspective.
A new study has shown that the emotional tone of the human voice affects the physical state of dogs, triggering involuntary physiological responses related to their balance and stability.
A new study has shown that baboons in the wild display jealousy similar to that of humans: older offspring often interrupt interactions between their mothers and younger siblings, not for their own benefit, but to disrupt their closeness. These findings support the idea that complex emotions emerged in primates long before humans appeared.
A new study has shown that bumblebees are able to quickly pick up positive emotional states from one another through visual contact, challenging previous ideas about the social lives of insects.
French scientists have discovered that horses can detect human fear through the scent of sweat, which influences their behavior and may be important for horseback riding and hippotherapy.
A new study has found that people with autism express emotions differently than neurotypical individuals, which can make mutual understanding more difficult. This may be a two-way issue, not just a characteristic of autistic people.
A study found that college students often underestimate the number of calories they consume, especially when eating with others or in cafeterias. Social environments and emotions influence eating habits, which can lead to weight gain.
Studies have shown that by observing the facial expressions of mice, it is possible to determine not only their emotions but also their decision-making strategies. Analyzing subtle facial movements reveals complex cognitive processes and the simultaneous consideration of alternatives, opening up new possibilities for non-invasive diagnosis of mental and neurodegenerative disorders.
