Remarkable new experiment, a fMRI study by Bennett et al reported at the 15th annual meeting of the Organization for Brain Mapping in June this year in San Francisco. Meeting announcement at http://www.meetingassistant3.com/OHBM2009/index.php From the Methods section of the abstract: Subject: One mature Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) participated in the fMR study. The salmon was...not alive at the time of scanning. Task: The task administered to the salmon involved completing an open-ended mentalizing task. The salmon was shown a series of photographs depicting human individuals in social situations with a specified emotional valence. The salmon was asked to determine what emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing. http://prefrontal.org/files/posters/Bennett-Salmon-2009.jpg for the abstract of the poster presentation (the poster itself, actually) And if that doesn't make itself clear, try this: http://tinyurl.com/mww9tj
