A novel task of canine olfaction for use in adult and senior pet dogs

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).

MeSH headings : Dogs; Animals; Smell; Food; Aging; Neuropsychological Tests
TL;DR: A novel olfaction test using spontaneous search behavior in dogs to find a hidden food treat in a three-choice task with both light-phase and dark-phase conditions is described, making it feasible to compare between and within groups of pet dogs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Age-associated changes in electroretinography measures in companion dogs

Salzman, M. M., Merten, N., Panek, W. K., Fefer, G., Mondino, A., Westermeyer, H. D., … Mowat, F. M. (2023, June 11). DOCUMENTA OPHTHALMOLOGICA, Vol. 6.

author keywords: Translational model; Aging; Retina; ERG; Canine; Anxiolytic
TL;DR: Consideration of anxiolytic medication use should be made when conducting ERG studies in dogs, as aged companion dogs have slower and reduced amplitude responses in both rod- and cone-mediated ERG. (via Semantic Scholar)

2023 journal article

Relationship between engagement with the impossible task, cognitive testing, and cognitive questionnaires in a population of aging dogs

FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 9.

author keywords: canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome; canine cognition; frustration; aging; dogs
TL;DR: The high correlation with several cognitive measures and the ease of administration of this test makes it a useful tool in evaluating canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome, however it is unclear if increased frustration or other cognitive processes are contributing to the observed changes.

Sleep and cognition in aging dogs. A polysomnographic study

FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 10.

By: A. Mondino n, M. Catanzariti*, D. Mateos*, M. Khan n, C. Ludwig n, A. Kis*, M. Gruen n, N. Olby n

author keywords: NREM sleep; REM sleep; canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome; quantitative EEG; power spectrum; coherence; complexity
TL;DR: Polysomnographic recordings in dogs can detect sleep-wakefulness cycle changes associated with dementia, and their potential clinical use to monitor the progression of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome is evaluated. (via Semantic Scholar)

Winning the race with aging: age-related changes in gait speed and its association with cognitive performance in dogs

FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 10.

author keywords: canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome; canine gerontology; mobility; walking speed; memory; attention
TL;DR: Dogs' food-motivated gait speed off leash is correlated with fractional lifespan and cognitive performance in dogs, particularly in the domains of attention and working memory and proves to be a more effective indicator of age-related deterioration and cognitive decline than gaitspeed on leash.
