38、s,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “Weve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, in

39、cluding Huntingtons disease, affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingtons disease, which develops over a long time and
