title: ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAMS OF SHARKS.
abstract: Patterns of electrical potentials recorded from the brains of sharks exhibit definite relationships to chemical and visual stimuli. Forebrain potentials reflect olfactory processes. Both restrained and free-swimming sharks exhibit mesencephalic responses to light and neural triggering of respiratory reflexes from the medulla. Early evolution of typical vertebrate brain functions, with emphasis upon chemoreception, is indicated
