The paper introduces a combined MEMRI and HIFU protocol to study brain function and lesion effects in non-conventional model species like the convict cichlid.

This study shows that cichlid fish use their inferior lobe, not the telencephalon, for goal-directed object manipulation in a puzzle-box task.

This study compares brain structures of tool-using wrasses with other teleosts, finding enlarged fiber tracts in tool-users that may support higher cognitive functions, contrasting with amniotes.
