ScerGAL4Ir8a.PA labels neurons in the second chamber of the sacculus but not the hygrosensitive neurons.
ScerGAL4Ir8a.PA is expressed in the cell body, cilium and axon of a subset of neurons of sensillum coeloconicum of antennal segment 3.
ScerGAL4Ir8a.PA is expressed in the neurons that innervate the antennal coeloconic sensillum ac1-a4, grooved sensillum of sacculus and in a subset of antennal lobe glomeruli.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 33[o]C) of Scer\GAL4Ir8a.PA cells in adult females significantly reduces attraction to vinegar, with no effect on avoidance of E2-hexenal or acetic acid, compared to controls.
