Third instar larvae expressing gasNIG.6018R (together with UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 display hypersensitive behavioral response (shortened latency till response to 42[o]C thermal probe stimulus) in a thermal nociception assay. However, gasNIG.6018R RNAi expression does not affect dendrite coverage in the ddaC dorsal multidendritic neurons compared to controls.
