Rainer UhlAcknowledgementsI would like to thank Professor Tobias Bonhoeffer for initiating this project, together with Profes-sor Richard Morris, and for giving me the opportunity to perform the experiments in his laborato-ry. I am grateful that I could work in an atmosphere of freedom and personal responsibility. Yet, he gave his scientific and personal advice whenever I asked for it. I was fortunate to have Professor Martin Korte as advisor. He taught me a lot – about science and beyond. He stirred questions, gave advice, and provided encouragement in the right dosage. I thank him for all the time and effort and for his guidance and friendship throughout the years. I am deeply indebted to Volker Staiger for his outstanding technical assistance.
