Researchers at UW Medicine report that dogs suffering from canine cognitive dysfunction show brain activity patterns similar to those seen in humans with dementia. The findings suggest dogs could serve as a natural model for studying Alzheimer's and related conditions, potentially speeding up research into early diagnosis and treatment for people.

Why now: New research linking canine cognitive decline to human dementia offers a promising animal model for studying the disease.
