Once a recording is established, the electrophysiologi- cal properties, either in response to current injection or in response to sensory stimula- tion, are found to be characteristic for each neuron type, very much the same as their typical dendritic anatomy or axonal projection. In invertebrates, these statements even account for individual neurons occurring only once in each hemisphere of a ganglion. While these response characteristics have long been thought to be due to a typical com- Alexander Borst obtained position of membrane currents, characteristic for each neuron type and constant across his PhD on olfactory learning in Drosophila the different members of this type, this view has been challenged by a series of investi- under the supervision gations performed on various neurons (beautifully reviewed in Marder and Goaillard, of Martin Heisenberg from 2006). One of these studies was performed on the stomatogastric ganglion of the crab. the University of Würzburg. In 1984, he took a position This ganglion consists of only a handful of neurons, together forming two oscillatory as a
