ScerGAL4GMR17A10 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center AMMC-VNC projection neuron, but also drives expression in neurons of the ventral gnathal ganglion that innervate the median bundle as well as approximately three neurons that innervate the first thoracic ganglion.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR17A10 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls; in males, courtship pulse song-induced locomotion is not significantly affected, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 27[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR17A10 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
