The GMR60E02 enhancer fragment followed by the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) is fused upstream of the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain).

Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa at 30-31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the following split-GAL4 pairs results in a significant increase of antennal grooming behavior, compared to controls: Scer\GAL4DBD.R60E02 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52F12, Scer\GAL4DBD.R60E02 and Hsap\RELAAD.R39A11.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1Cs.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with red light activation) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R60E02 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52F12 induces antennal grooming, which persists for tens of seconds beyond red light cessation.
Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS, Hsap\RELAAD.R52F12, Scer\GAL4DBD.R60E02 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal grooming behavior | heat sensitive phenotype of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08, TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26
Inhibition of synaptic release (using Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.Scer\UAS) in neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R60E02 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52F12 significantly partially suppresses the increase in antennal grooming seen in flies with thermogenetic activation (using TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26 at 30-31[o]C) of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08 neurons.
