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

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.
