Abstract In ephaptic coupling, physically adjacent neurons influence one another’s activity via the electric fields they generate. To date, molecular mechanisms that mediate and modulate coupling’s effects remain poorly understood. Here, we show hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel lateralizes potentially mutual inhibition between Drosophila gustatory receptor (GRNs). While sweet-sensing GRNs (sGRNs) engage in suppression of bitter-sensing (bGRNs), HCN expression...

Establishing transepithelial ion disparities is crucial for sensory functions in animals. In insect organs called sensilla, a potential, known as the sensillum potential (SP), arises through active transport across accessory cells, sensitizing receptor neurons such mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. Because multiple are often co-housed share SP, niche-prevalent overstimulation of single can compromise neighboring receptors by depleting SP. However, how depletion prevented to maintain...
