Put another way, increasing internal chloride concentration increases the reversal potential for chloride, given by the Nernst equation.
The increased chloride conductance drives the membrane potential towards the reversal potential of the Cl¯ ion which is about –65 mV in neurons, inhibiting the firing of new action potentials.
