Abstract
By using heat-sensors made from synthetic pyroelectric film, it was sh
own that excitation of the Malapterurus electric organ brings about fi
rst a rapid rise, then a slow fall and finally a very slow rise in the
temperature of the organ. Difficulties encountered in determining the
se rapid temperature changes by the method of employing thermistor pro
bes are pointed out. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
