   > One mature Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) participated in the fMRI study. The salmon measured approximately 18 inches long, weighed 3.8 lbs, and was not alive at the time of scanning
   > Foam padding was placed within the head coil as a method of limiting salmon movement during the scan, but proved to be largely unnecessary as subject motion was exceptionally low
   > 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, either socially inclusive or socially exclusive. The salmon was asked to determine which emotion the individual in the photo must have been experiencing.

     ⅔ of published, peer-reviewed studies fail replication, meaning whenever you read a "New science finds X!" headline, the underlying effect is twice as likely to be false as it is to be true.

     And that's just what manages to gets published, then throw on top the file drawer effect and funding/publication biases.
