Insect neuroscience: Filling the knowledge gap on gap junctions
Gap junctions, too small to spot in images used to create connectome maps, play outsized roles in shaping neural activity. A recent study reveals a surprising new gap junction function: they can stabilize a neuron’s membrane potential against unwanted oscillations. Gap junctions, too small to spot i...
