title: Effect of direct electrical current on chick nerve cells cultured in rose chambers.
abstract: The effect of direct current on nerve cells from chick embryo cerebral hemispheres cultivated on collagen in Rose chambers was investigated. The following are the main results: (i) no orientation of the nerve fibres was ever observed; and (ii) depending on the current density and on the time of exposure to current, the nerve cells were either unaffected or destroyed.
