The Japan Times Weekly- Shark brains could hold key to attacks

1) Shark brains could hold key to attacks

サメの脳、攻撃の鍵を握る

 

2) Shark brains have been found to share several features with those of humans, a discovery that Australian researchers believe could be crucial to developing ‘’ repellents’’ for the killer great white species.

オーストラリアの研究者が、サメの脳は人間の脳の特徴に類似していることを発見した。この発見は、人間を攻撃するホホジロザメに対する「サメよけ」の開発に繋がると期待される

 

3) An Australian researchers found that Shark brains have quite large parts of the brains associated with their visual input, which is alike to the human brains. The researcher, Yopak said that, today, most repellents for sharks are the type of electronic pores on a sharks head and send the electrical signal to their brain. And she added that it is important to understand the mechanism of their brain, and it will be connect to developing a new ‘’repellents’’ as simple as marking patterns on surfboards and wetsuits.

 

4) When I read this news, I remembered that I felt an awful feeling to a shark because of the affect of the movie ‘’jaws’’. Today, a lot of people are attacked by sharks, it is terrible. By this discovery like this news, I want more effective repellents to be developed.
