The target article by Key (2016) examines whether fish have brain structures capable of mediating pain perception and consciousness, functions known to depend on the neocortex in humans. He concludes, as others have concluded (Rose 2002, 2007; Rose et al. 2014), that such functions are impossible for fish brains. This conclusion has been met with hypothetical assertions by others to the effect that functions of pain and consciousness may well be possible through unknown alternate neural processes. Key\u27s argument would be bolstered by consideration of other neurological as well as behavioral evidence, which shows that sharks and ray are fishes that have no nociceptive afferents and that bony fishes, although they have A delta nociceptors, are...
