Infrastructure in the electric sense: admittance data from shark hydrogelsBrandon R Brown
Department of Physics, University of San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94117, USA
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol 191:115-23. 2005..The gel-filled canals appear better suited to fostering voltage differences along their length than to providing direct electrical contact to the seawater environment...
Electrical characterization of gel collected from shark electrosensorsBrandon R Brown
Department of Physics, University of San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94117, USA
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys 65:061903. 2002..The exact role of the gel is still unknown, but our results suggest its bulk properties are well matched to the sensing mechanism, as the minimum response time of an entire electric organ is on the order of 5 ms...
