Are Electrical Synapses Unidirectional?

Are Electrical Synapses Unidirectional? Electrical synapses are often found in neural systems that require the fastest possible response, such as defensive reflexes. An important characteristic of electrical synapses is that they are mostly bidirectional (allow impulse transmission in either direction). Are electrical synapses bidirectional?
