Convergent mosaic brain evolution is associated with the evolution of novel electrosensory systems in teleost fishes
Brain region size generally scales allometrically with brain size, but mosaic shifts in brain region size independent of brain size have been found in several lineages and may be related to the evolution of behavioral novelty. African weakly electric fishes (Mormyroidea) evolved a mosaically enlarge...
