A senior dog showing sudden aggression may be suffering from chronic arthritis pain or cognitive dysfunction syndrome (animal dementia). By treating the body, veterinary science often "cures" the behavior. The Role of Psychopharmacology A complex panic disorder that requires a scientific
Veterinary science plays a critical role in understanding animal behavior, and has contributed significantly to our knowledge of behavioral biology. By combining insights from veterinary medicine, biology, psychology, and neuroscience, researchers and veterinarians can gain a deeper understanding of the physiological, emotional, and cognitive processes that underlie animal behavior.
