Drives expression in a subset of larval mushroom body calyx glomeruli and of uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neurons.
ScerGAL4NP0225 drives expression in around 68 uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neurons. The cell bodies of around 31 of these neurons are positioned in the anterior-dorsal part of the antennal lobe. Around 29 cell bodies are found in the lateral part and around 9 are positioned ventrally. These neurons project to a large number of antennal lobe glomeruli including VM7d and VP4.
Expression is observed in 67-73 projection neurons in 35 of 43 antennal glomeruli.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1::Csub\ChRCsChrimson.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with 617 nm (red) light) of Scer\GAL4NP0225 cells in adult females significantly increases angular speed, but not walking speed, compared to baseline, whereas no increase is seen in controls.
