it is concluded that halothane reduces excitatory synaptic transmission not by an increase in the electrical threshold of the post-synaptic cells to synaptic excitation but by interference with the process of chemical transmission either by reducing the output of transmitter from the pre-synaptic nerve terminal or by reducing the sensitivity of the post-synaptic membrane to the released transmitter substance .
