The cause is still unclear. [6] The pathogen that triggers the disease and contributes to its development has not yet been identified. It is presumed to have a multifactorial, heritable, autoimmune etiology. [2] The process is rapidly progressive, culminating in status epilepticus and ending fatally for the dog. [5]
Different activities had varying effects on participants’ brain waves. Playing and walking with a dog increased the strength of the alpha-band oscillations, the authors found, which generally ...
