This exploratory study is done to expand the possibility
that vertebrates other than mammals possess similar
primitive brain functions that has withstood the rigors
of evolution. Resting-state modality which is commonly
used to explore such a possibility in mammals is
employed on the crucian carp, cyprinus carpio L.
Long-range networks which are key to resting-state
networks has been discovered and with very close
anatomical specificity to previous axonal projection
studies. This provides us motivation to believe that
resting-state network is a basic global brain phenomenon
in vertebrates.
