Abstract

Goats were the first animals to undergo domestication. Despite the fact that they are bred across much of the world, they have not yet been widely used as a research model. However, goats have remarkable cognitive abilities and complex and varied social behavior, and owing to their size and low maintenance requirements, they may serve as a promising model for studying neurological conditions, especially neurodegenerative diseases. This review focuses on current research into the central nervous system of goats, as well as their behavior and cognitive abilities.
