The R34A03 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain). A Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.

Adult males with inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 have significantly weaker suppression of courtship behavior following training with mated females, compared to controls.
Blocking synaptic transmission (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xScer\UAS at 33[o]C) from neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 combination of Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 and Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 does not significantly impair visual (aversive color discrimination conditioning) memory performance, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 28.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pairs of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R19B03, in adult males or females significantly decreases the amount of sleep, compared to controls; activation of neurons targeted by Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12, in adult males, but not females, significantly decreases the amount of sleep, compared to controls; in the case of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12, but not Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09, Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R19B03, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02, activation significantly decreases locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 33[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09 in adults does not significantly affect aversive or appetitive 1-min olfactory memory, compared to controls.
