Study finds social stress harms low-status cichlid fish brains, potentially leading to poorer neurological health.

A recent study on cichlid fish found that social stress affects low-status fish by increasing oxidative stress in their brains, which could lead to poorer neurological health. While high-status fish showed signs of protection against this stress, researchers noted that more studies are needed to fully understand the impact on specific brain regions. This research may offer insights into how social stress contributes to brain diseases.
