About this site

Neuroscience for Dog Trainers is an independent publication launched by Dr. Marsha Penner.

I love thinking about brains and behavior. When I come across a really neat research article, I make a little research project for myself to learn as much as I can about the whole story. I love doing this because one research paper, or one cool discovery, is always deeply embedded in a larger story, and putting that story together is really fun. It allows me to have a deeper understanding of something I find really interesting.

I have a lot of stuff I've already earmarked to share here. The relationship between each article I share here may not always be obvious, but I'll do my best to link them.

If you've got a special interest in brains, behavior, and dogs, I hope you'll join me here. Feel free to contact me if there's something you're interested in knowing about, and maybe I can tell the story here for you!
