Artificial mosaic brain evolution of relative telencephalon size improves cognitive performance in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

This study shows that artificially selected guppies with larger relative telencephalon size outperformed those with smaller telencephalon in a detour task, indicating a cognitive benefit from increased telencephalon size.

Rapid mosaic brain evolution under artificial selection for relative telencephalon size in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)

This study shows that artificial selection on telencephalon size in guppies leads to changes in that brain region without affecting other regions, supporting mosaic brain evolution.

Brain cooling marginally increases maximum thermal tolerance in Atlantic cod

The study tests if brain cooling increases thermal tolerance in Atlantic cod, finding a small increase in critical thermal maximum.
