The present study arose from the chance observation that end-plates of resting muscle fibres are the seat of spontaneous electric discharges which have the character of miniature end-plate potentials. The occurrence of spontaneous subthreshold activity at an apparently normal synapse is of some general interest, and a full description will be given here of observations which have been briefly reported elsewhere (Fatt & Katz, 1950a).
