Muscular Piezo-electricity? [PDF]

Nature, 1921
THE well-known “action current” of muscle can have nothing to do with piezo-electricity, since it may reach its maximum before any mechanical change begins. Nor do I see anything to suggest the occurrence of such electricity in other animal tissues or organs. Mr. Wriothesley Russell (NATURE, October 27, p.
