An Analysis of the Parental Brain Hypothesis in Stickleback Fish

I tested the hypothesis that parental care is related to whole brain or brain region size by utilizing hybrid fish generated from a population that provides care (with large brains) and one that does not (with small brains). I used FIJI image software to measure whole brain and brain region volume of 78 male brains. I will present my analysis of the association between parental care and whole brain and brain region sizes.
