In the adult brain, ScerGAL4c116 drives expression in the snow-drop shaped structures (SD) in the lateral protocerebrum, giant fiber neuron, axons of vertical cells of the lobula plate and ascending tract of the ventral nerve cord. In the larval brain, expression is detected in a small set of neuron bundles in the brain.
In late third instar larva, expressed in symmetrical "dots" in the central brain; in the posterior region of the ventral ganglion; in imaginal discs.
Scer\GAL4c116 homozygous males produce mildly polycyclic songs.
