Electrogenesis of embryonic chick skeletal muscle cells differentiated in monolayer cultures was investigated. Muscle fibers in vitro generate spike potentials similar to those of fibers in vivo . However, other responses, plateaux resembling those in heart muscle, are also elicited. These results suggest that a functional differentiation exists in cultured muscle fibers.
