    How large is a dog's brain?

    Question #97816. Asked by Hiber. (Jul 22 08 9:32 AM)


    BRY2K

    		A dogs’ brain is approximately 1/125 of his total body weight. Since an adult Pomeranian weighs in at roughly 5 pounds (breed standard is between 3-7 lbs), the weight of a Pomeranian brain should be “about” .65-.70 ounces (or 19-20 grams).

    		The brain of an average dog accounts for less than half a per cent of its body weight.

    Presumably memories are stored in the brain in some sort of chronological order so that we have a sense of when things occurred. Where in the brain are the oldest memories, how does the brain fill from there and does the process ever get muddled?

    If the average life-span of brain protein is only 14 days, how is memory stored within the brain so it is not erased?

    If the brain has no pain receptors, then why is it that people with tumors or parasite cysts in their brain experience intense headaches?
