Expressing uspmiRNA.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Crz.PU completely suppresses the death of vCrz peptidergic neurons at 6-7 hours after puparium formation.
Expressing uspmiRNA.UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CCAP.PP has no effect on CCAP neurons in third instar larvae, failing to cause premature cell death.
Expression of uspmiRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4CG13917-BG01278 has no significant effect on male fertility (number of progeny produced by wild-type females mated to the knock-down males).
Expression using Scer\GAL4ey-OK107 results in 100% of mushroom bodies having a pruning defect.
Scer\GAL4ey-OK107-mediated expression of uspmiRNA.Scer\UAS blocks pruning of mushroom body gamma neurons, which maintain larval-type projections in the adult brain.
