Article Synopsis
  • Brain size, architecture, and eye size vary among vertebrates, but the connections between their evolution are unclear.
  • Trinidadian killifish display evolutionary changes in brain and eye size based on predation environments, with larger brains and eyes in predator-free settings.
  • Research indicates male killifish from non-predator sites have developed larger brain regions and show a positive relationship between brain structure and eye size, suggesting selective pressure affects specific brain areas linked to visual enhancement rather than overall brain size.
