Evidence of a role for endogenous electrical fields in chick embryo development.

Abstract excerpt

We have tested directly the hypothesis that the endogenous electrical field in the chick embryo plays a causal role in development. Conductive implants, which shunt currents out of the embryo and thus alter the internal field, were placed under the dorsal skin at the mid-trunk level of stage 11-15 embryos. Currents leaving the posterior intestinal portal (p.i.p.) of these embryos were reduced by an average of...
