ScerGAL4IP3K2-NP2758 drives expression in mushroom body extrinsic neurons, including mushroom body pedunculus-medial lobe arborizing neuron 1, that innervate mushroom body gamma lobe slice 1.
ScerGAL4IP3K2-NP2758 drives expression in one dopaminergic PPL1 neuron (one MB-MP1 neuron).
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 32[o]C) of Scer\GAL4NP2758 cells in adults does not affect startle-induced climbing behavior, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 32[o]C) of Scer\GAL4NP2758 cells in adults significantly reduces startle-induced climbing behavior, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using Hsap\KCNJ2UAS.EGFP) of Scer\GAL4NP2758 neurons, in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to 1 day prior to training and testing, significantly reduces 3 hour aversive olfactory memory, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4NP2758 cells in adults, in combination with a paired odor, results in a significant increase in 2-min aversive olfactory memory, compared to controls; the increase in 2-min memory is significantly, but not fully, reduced when activation is restricted to a smaller subset of Scer\GAL4NP2758 cells using Scer\GAL80ple.PK.
