Neuroimaging of the domestic dog is a rapidly expanding research topic in terms of the cognitive domains being investigated. Because dogs have shared both a physical and social world with humans for thousands of years, they provide a unique and socially relevant means of investigating a variety of shared human and canine psychological phenomena. Additionally, their trainability allows for neuroimaging to be carried out noninvasively in an awake and unrestrained state. In this review, a brief overview of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is followed by an analysis of recent research with dogs using fMRI. Methodological and conceptual concerns found across multiple studies are raised, and solutions to these issues are suggested. With the research capabilities brought by canine functional imaging, findings may improve our understanding of canine cognitive processes, identify neural correlates of behavioral traits, and provide early-life selection measures for dogs in working roles.
就所研究的认知领域而言，家犬的神经成像正成为一个迅速发展的研究课题。由于狗与人类共享物质和社会世界已有数千年之久，它们提供了一种独特且与社会相关的方式，用以研究各种人类和犬类共有的心理现象。此外，它们的可训练性使得神经成像能够在清醒且不受束缚的状态下以非侵入性方式进行。在本综述中，首先对功能磁共振成像（fMRI）进行简要概述，随后分析近期使用fMRI对狗进行的研究。文中提出了多项研究中发现的方法学和概念性问题，并针对这些问题给出了解决方案。借助犬类功能成像带来的研究能力，研究结果可能会增进我们对犬类认知过程的理解，确定行为特征的神经关联，并为担任工作角色的犬只提供早期生活选择措施。
