This endeavor is challenging since neural systems are composed of small, fragile components. When studying these components, only a limited level of access is available. This constrains… the range of addressable questions. To investigate certain questions, it is therefore useful to choose specialized systems which allow greater access to some variables. A classical example of this approach was Hodgkin and Huxley's (1952) investigation on action potential dynamics. Choosing large diameter squid axons as their model system enabled direct recordings of transmembrane voltages and currents. The present thesis addresses three questions, two related to the transmission of action potentials between neurons (Ch. 2 and 3) and one related to the representation of acoustic stimuli in neuronal responses (Ch. 4). Which systems are suited to address these questions? To study the transmission of action potentials, access to the sending and the receiving neurons is required. To study the representation of acoustic stimuli, access to an identified population of neurons is advantageous. If the questions are to be addressed in the central nervous system in vivo, the synapses of Held (Held, 1893) suggest themselves as a model system due to their size and good identifiability.
