Shaking-B misexpression increases the formation of gap junctions but not chemical synapses between auditory sensory neurons and the giant fiber of Drosophila melanogaster

The synapse between auditory Johnston’s Organ neurons (JONs) and the giant fiber (GF) of Drosophila is structurally mixed, being composed of cholinergic chemical synapses and Neurobiotin- (NB) permeable gap junctions, which consist of the innexin Shaking-B (ShakB).
