Ovariectomy impairs socio-cognitive functions in dogs
Simple Summary The aim of this study was to test whether ovariectomy in dogs (Canis lupus

females (IF) and 22 gonadectomized females (GF)) were tested in the object choice task
paradigm using a human proximal pointing gesture. For the analysis, the frequency of
correct, wrong and no-choices was collected; moreover, the latency of the correct choices
was also considered. The IF group followed the pointing gestures more often than the GF …
