The Great Misunderstood: Feline Neurobehavioral Disorders

Introduction: Feline neurobehavioral disorders are frequently misdiagnosed due to a lack of understanding of the species-specific corticolimbic architecture. This session focuses on how the feline brain processes emotional stimuli and the consequences of limbic system dysfunction.

Aims:
• To provide an in-depth analysis of the feline corticolimbic system and its role in emotional regulation.
• To clarify the pathophysiology of common feline neurobehavioral disorders.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Recognizeand focus on Hyperestesia, FOPS and more.
• Formulate diagnostic plans based on the latest feline neuroscientific research.
