Forschende der @ruhrunibochum haben zusammen mit internationalen Partnern ein Citizen-Science-Projekt zur Körpersprache von #Katzen gestartet. Wer eine Katze besitzt, kann mit ein paar einfachen Videos mitmachen.... weiterlesen

Dont even wait a second to join our study!! 🐈😻 @reinhardtpr.bsky.social @nadbab27.bsky.social @ocklenburg.bsky.social

Heutiges Thema der Biopsychologie Vorlesung: Lateralität und Sprache 🧠 Perfektes Timing, dass diese Meldung über eine Studie mit @ocklenburg.bsky.social gestern veröffentlicht wurde ⏱️

#Meow. Cats prefer to sleep on left side (me too!). Allows their right brain a "privileged view of approaching animals without being obstructed by their own body." Lateralized sleeping positions in domestic cats: www.cell.com/current-biol...

Two-thirds of cats prefer a leftward sleeping position, giving their left visual field and thus their right brain half a privileged view of approaching animals without being obstructed by their own body. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Scientists @CellPressNews reviewed 408 YouTube clips of sleeping cats and found 2/3 curled up on their left side. Here’s the neuroscience behind why:🧵 (Please watch their video abstract I put on the last post - it’s 100% worth it)

What a fun study! They found 2/3 cats prefer to sleep on their left side as their right brain hemisphere is specialized for threat processing and could give them an advantage in detecting predators. 🐈 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Analysis of hundreds of cat videos indicates a preference for sleeping on the left side, which may enhance rapid threat detection and escape by engaging the brain’s right hemisphere upon waking. doi.org/psw5

Katzen schlafen bevorzugt auf der linken Schulter. Das haben Onur Güntürkün von der RUB und ‪@ocklenburg.bsky.social‬ mit internationalen Kolleg*innen herausgefunden. Sie vermuten, dass dieses Verhalten die Überlebenschancen der Tiere steigert. #CatContent Mehr Infos: 👉 news.rub.de/wissenschaft...

Cats Prefer to Sleep on Their Left Side! 😻🐈 news.rub.de/english/pres... @ruhr-uni-bochum.de @currentbiology.bsky.social Thanks to everyone for this nice collaboration! 🤝 @ocklenburg.bsky.social @nadbab27.bsky.social @reinhardtpr.bsky.social @ysdemirbas.bsky.social #CatScience #Laterality

“Lateralized sleeping positions in domestic cats” on this issue 😻 @sevimisparta.bsky.social

NEW PAPER! 🐈 Why do cats prefer sleeping on their left side? Our new study in @currentbiology.bsky.social suggests it may give their right hemisphere (specialized for threat detection) a better view, even during awakening!🧠 cell.com/current-biolog… @ocklenburg.bsky.social @cellpress.bsky.social

Our newest issue is now live! On the cover a female killer whale grasps a floating stalk of bull kelp as observed by @drwhale.bsky.social and colleagues, utilizing these during tactile social interactions, potentially as a form of tool-assisted allogrooming. www.cell.com/current-biol...
