Learn how animal models can help us learn about human psychology, cognitive skills, and the neurobiology of learning and memory. Discover how animal research has helped us understand how we perceive and learn. Did you know that we can learn a lot about humans through animal research? Animal models derived from invertebrates have helped us to understand the neurobiology of learning and memory. From cats, we have learned how visual experience informs the human visual system, and recent research has identified fish as a promising model to understand the genetic bases of learning disabilities such as dyscalculia!

Le bien-être des animaux d'élevage (FUN)

Sci: Environment

Le bien-être des animaux est une préoccupation sociétale désormais majeure. Mais de quoi parle-t-on quand on fait référence au bien-être animal? Qu’est-ce qu’est réellement le bien-être animal ? Est-il le même pour tous les animaux ? De quoi dépend-il ? Le bien-être d'un animal en plein air est-il forcément toujours meilleur à celui d’un animal en bâtiment ? Suffit-il de s’occuper d’un animal pour qu’il soit bien ? Peut-on vraiment évaluer le bien-être des animaux, objectivement et scientifiquement ou est-ce purement subjectif ? Enfin, peut-on vraiment l’améliorer, comment et quels sont les avantages pour les animaux et pour les humains ? Toutes ces questions sont importantes quand on parle du bien-être des animaux, et notamment des animaux d’élevage ! L’objectif du MOOC « le bien-être des animaux d’élevage » est d’apporter des réponses à ces différentes questions.
