Humidity response in Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons requires the mechanosensitive channel TMEM63
Humidity detection is a feature of many species. Here the authors show that in Drosophila, Or42b neurons, located in sensilla with humidity-dependent shape act as humidity sensors via the mechanically gated channel TMEM63.
