Friendly foxes show brain changes linked to tameness

Original: From wild to mild: Friendly foxes show changes in brain region

Researchers studying long-domesticated foxes report measurable changes in a specific brain region associated with the animals' tameness, according to new coverage of the findings. The work builds on decades of selective breeding experiments in which foxes were bred for friendliness toward humans. The results offer insight into how domestication reshapes the brain, and are being picked up across science news outlets.

Why now: New research linking tameness in domesticated foxes to brain changes has just been reported.
