MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY DURING THE INHIBITORY PROCESS 91 



membrane. This concept, that the nature of the permeability change produced 

 by junctional activity depends on a general structural property of the mem- 

 brane, is helpful in accounting for some of the variations in the inhibitory 

 process seen in different types of cells.
