In recent years, investigators have explored alterations in brain activity due to the passage of a small current through the brain via electrodes placed on the scalp, with intriguing results related to memory and cognition. In one study, electrodes on the scalp created a 1.0 V/mV/m electric field in the brain tissue and caused a 1.0 mAmA current to pass through a 2.5×10−3m22.5×10−3m2 cross-section area of the brain. What resistivity does this imply for the brain tissue ? i got the answer 2.5 ohms/m but i wanna double check if it is correct thank you in advanced

Certain fish, such as the Nile fish (Gnathonemus), concentrate charges in their head and tail, thereby producing an electric field in the water around them. This field creates a potential difference of a few volts between the head and tail, which in turn causes current to flow in the conducting seawater. As the fish swims, it passes near objects that have resistivities different from that of seawater, which in turn causes the current to vary. Cells in the skin of the fish are sensitive to this current and can detect changes in it. The changes in the current allow the fish to navigate.Since the electric field is weak far from the fish, we shall consider only the field running directly from the head to the tail. We can model the seawater through which that field passes as a conducting tube of area and having a potential difference across its ends. These fish navigate by responding to changes in the current in seawater. This current is due to a potential difference of around 3.00 V…
