lethal, with Rcom\RTA.UAS
Blocking synaptic transmission (using shi1.Scer\UAS at restrictive temperatures) from Scer\GAL4c708a neurons does not significantly impair sucrose-reinforced appetitive memory performance (at 3 or 24 hours since training) compared to controls. Blocking synaptic transmission from Scer\GAL4c708a neurons does not significantly impair electric-shock-reinforced aversive memory performance (at 3hrs) compared to controls. Flies undergo conditioning at a permissive temperature (23[o]C), whereas testing is at a restrictive temperature (33[o]C); there are no significant memory differences when training and testing is at permissive temperatures.
