DESCRIPTION:We have tested the ability of sheep to perform tests of execut
 ive function. We found that sheep can perform ‘executive’ cognitive ta
 sks that are an important part of the primate behavioral repertoire\, but 
 which have never been shown previously to exist in any other large animal.
  Sheep have great potential\, not only for use as a large animal model of 
 Huntington's Disease\, but also for studying cognitive function and the ev
 olution of complex behaviours in normal animals.\n\nhttp://www.telegraph.c
