Consciousness is the greatest enigma in human history. For centuries scientists and researchers have tried to describe it without coming to conclusions. In the last years with the neurosciences development, consciousness has become the common goal of numerous studies. But consciousness has always been studied only in humans, but after "Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness" in 2012, even non-human animalsthey feel possessed of the consciousness. According to "theory Orch-OR" of Hameroff and Penrose we have conducted a study on Alaskan malamute and German shepherd to analysed a triplet of platelet fatty acids (linoleic acid; palmitic acid; arachidonic acid). Through these analysis and the relative mapping of subjects within a SOM it was possible to make an assessment of the possible onset of mood disorders in the dogs. A critical analysis of the results obtained shows that animals have molecular analogies with humans compared to mood disorders. The German shepherd and Alaskan malamute, indeed, have, in the case of major depression, a bio-chemical profile, the most similar to man.
意识是人类历史上最大的谜团。几个世纪以来，科学家和研究人员一直试图对其进行描述，但都没有得出结论。在过去几年里，随着神经科学的发展，意识已成为众多研究的共同目标。然而，意识一直仅在人类身上进行研究，但在2012年发布《剑桥意识宣言》之后，人们发现即使是非人类动物也具有意识。根据哈梅罗夫和彭罗斯的“微管量子意识理论”，我们对阿拉斯加雪橇犬和德国牧羊犬进行了一项研究，以分析血小板脂肪酸三联体（亚油酸、棕榈酸、花生四烯酸）。通过这些分析以及在自组织映射图中对研究对象的相关映射，我们得以评估这些犬类可能出现情绪障碍的情况。对所得结果的批判性分析表明，与情绪障碍相关的分子层面上，动物与人类存在相似之处。事实上，在重度抑郁的情况下，德国牧羊犬和阿拉斯加雪橇犬具有与人类最为相似的生化特征。
