Inhibition of neural activity in Scer\GAL42-72-expressing neurons does not affect sensitivity to (S,Z,Z)-CH503 (a more potent stereoisomer of the gustatory sex pheromone CH503). As in wild type flies, courtship defects are seen in response to (S,Z,Z)-CH503.
Males expressing frudsRNA.M.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL42-72 exhibit chaining behavior and show a similar preference for courting males and females.
