ScerGAL4GMR45D07 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center B1 projection neuron, but also drives expression in a projection neuron from the prothoracic leg, faintly in a wedge neuron, minor innervation in the leg, with minor expression also in the terminal abdominal nerve.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 cells significantly diminishes the responses of wedge projection neurons to the onset of wind and slightly reduces the tonic wind response; inhibition of the combined set of Scer\GAL4GMR24C06 and Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 cells does not significantly reduce the responses of wedge projection neurons to the onset of wind or reduce the tonic wind response.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1::Csub\ChRCsChrimson.IVS.20xUAS.Venus) of Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 cells results in a transient hyperpolarization of wedge projection neurons, relative to controls.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 cells in adult females significantly increases their copulation rate in response to pulse song at a range of inter-pulse intervals, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 neurons in adult females significantly reduces receptivity to mating, compared to controls; in males, courtship pulse song-induced locomotion is significantly reduced, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 27[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR45D07 neurons in adult females significantly reduces receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
