Ewe Won't Believe it: Sheep Voluntarily Undergoing fMRI

Abstract

In this presentation, we will explore the groundbreaking possibility of conducting MRI studies with sheep that are neither anaesthetized nor physically restrained, demonstrating a novel approach to farm animal neuroscience that emphasizes voluntary participation and animal welfare. I will detail the training protocol we developed and the importance of the trainer-sheep relationship to achieve this. Finally, I will outline our ongoing hypothesis-driven functional MRI studies investigating auditory perception in fully awake sheep.
