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

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the direction of the current is opposite to the flow.
