Abstract Horses revolutionized human history with fast mobility 1 . However, the timeline between their domestication and widespread integration as a means of transport remains contentious 2–4 Here we assemble collection 475 ancient horse genomes to assess period when these animals were first reshaped by agency in Eurasia. We find that reproductive control modern domestic lineage emerged around 2200 bce , through close-kin mating shortened generation times. Reproductive following severe...
Summary This study was undertaken to evaluate the flexion‐extension movements of back in a group sound trotting horses. Using 3‐D kinematic analysis system, 13 clinically horses fitted with 5 skin markers placed on dorsal midline their trunk were recorded while track conditions routine lameness examination. These used calculate 3 angles (thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbosacral angle). then filtered using Fourier series. To repeatability movements, intra‐ inter‐individual variabilities...

Abstract Objective —To develop a method that allows quantification of the 3 anatomic rotations in digital joints moving horses and measure these when are walking straight line on hard track. Animals —4 healthy French Trotter horses. Procedure —Triads ultrasonic kinematic markers were surgically linked to 4 distal segments digits left forelimb each horse. Three-dimensional (3-D) coordinates recorded line. The three angles rotation joint calculated by use coordinate system as well 3-D...

Objective To quantify effects sharp turn on 3‐dimensional movements segments forelimb. Methods Kinematics were measured in 4 healthy horses invasively with an ultrasonic system. Three‐dimensional rotations digital joints calculated by use joint coordinate Data obtained compared those...
Twenty‐two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain studies of different breeds dogs were reviewed to assess the anatomy cranial nerve (CN) origins and associated skull foramina. These included five anatomic normal brains using 2‐mm‐thick slices 17 conventional clinical protocols with 3‐ or 4‐mm on both abnormal brains. Images obtained in transverse, sagittal, dorsal planes allow a thorough comparison between studies. CNs II, III, V (and its divisions), VIII observed consistently On thin‐slice...
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility surface electromyography in horse and correlate electromyographic activity with kinematic data. Surface seven hindlimb muscles recorded five horses at trot on a treadmill. Simultaneously, analysis performed using three-dimensional system unidirectional accelerometer attached hoof.

Two groups were studied: 13 clinically sound 24 lame horses. Using a 3‐dimensional (3‐D) kinematic analysis system, both sides each horse recorded simultaneously while trotting on track. The differences motion between left right homologous joints quantified using indices based an intercorrelation method. Symmetry obtained for then compared with...
