Abstract
WE have resumed the experiments of Olivo and Posteli1 on the chick embryo heart on myocardial fragments cultivated in vitro, with the principal purpose of ascertaining whether the normal structural microscopic evolution of the myocardius during ontogenesis is accompanied by characteristic alterations of its electrical activity, and investigating the fundamental phenomena giving rise to the electro-cardiogram of the adult heart.
