TL;DR
It will be shown that the main effect of inhibitory impulses is to attenuate the 'end-plate potentials', i.e. to diminish the local depolarization produced by motor impulses.

The immediate concern of the present work is to determine the electric charge which passes through the end-plate membrane during the transmission of one impulse and to throw some light on the mechanism by which the transfer of ions across theend-plate is brought about.

The object of this paper is to present electrical measurements on the crustacean muscle membrane, in particular its resistance and capacity, its resting and action potential, and its electrical reactions in various ionic environments.

The three most significant features are facilitation in the neuromuscular transmission of impulses, peripheral inhibition, and multiple response of peripheral nerves: practically all the other peculiar phenomena, often described, can be reduced to these three factors.

These experiments support the view that motor nerve endings are widely distributed along the length of crustacean muscle fibres, as well as mapping out the spread of the ‘end-plate potential’ using intracellular recording.
