Résumé

L'hormone mélanophorétiqueβ-MSH, à des concentrations de 0.1 à 0.2µg/ml dans l'eau de l'aquarium, produit une diminution de la fréquence des modifications spontanées de l'amplitude des décharges électriques du poissonG. eigenmannia. Ces résultats sont en accord avec les observations antérieures montrant divers effets deβ-MSH sur l'activité électrique du système nerveux central chez les mammifères.
