Though the thing about the dead fish is that they did commit some deadly MRI sins there, namely they cranked the gain right up to make it noisy, played about with the threshold to make it look like the brain was actually doing something and didn't statistically reproduce the effect. It's an interesting illustration of why you need to do all the actual "science bits" to go with the results but it's not damming of MRI and neurology as some people make it out to be - indeed I'd say it's quite supporting of the technique because it shows how the statistical reproducibility ensures we are seeing real effects.
