ScerGAL4GMR51D11 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center AMMC-IVLP projection neuron 2, but also drives expression in lobula neurons innervating the optic tubercle, adult antennal lobe projection neuron vPN and adPN, paired large cells at the ventral midline, innervation of the wedge and cells scattered throughout the thoracico-abdominal ganglion.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR51D11 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\GAL4GMR51D11 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
