The R41C07 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.

Optogenetic stimulation (using Npha\HRe.UAS.cBa.YFP with 593 nm (yellow) light activation) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R41C07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 significantly impairs visual short term memory following training with pain stimulus in adult flies, compared to controls.
Blocking the output (using shits.UAS.cUaat 30[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R41C07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 does not affect visual short term memory following training with pain stimulus in adult flies, 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.R41C07 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.R41C07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R41C07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02, in adult males or females significantly decreases the amount of sleep, compared to controls, and results in extra rebound sleep after activation; activation does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
