Hi All, two great colleagues and myself just published a study about the brains of the shrimp gobies which are so well liked by divers. The study uses computer simulations of a simplified brain model of the goby brain to test hypotheses what kind of changes have to happen to a "regular" fish brain to turn it into a brain of a shrimp goby - which can communicate with a shrimp via the "tail flick".

I hope this is of interest, my little lecture in the video gives an overview over the project, you can read the full text paper for free here.
