New Study Finds Dogs Are Brainier Than Cats

CBS Local — There’s a new twist in the age-old argument over whether cats are smarter than dogs, or vice versa.
A new study provided by Vanderbilt University to phys.org found that dogs have significantly more cortical neurons, the “little gray cells” associated with thinking, planning, and complex behavior.
The official cortical count provided by the study shows dogs having about 530 million while cats have 250 million. Humans have about 16 billion.
