ScerGAL4GMR70G01 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center AMMC PN3 projection neuron, but also drives expression in PC2 neurons, and, dimly, in the dorsal part of the protocerebrum and neurons innervating the gnathal ganglion and antennal lobe.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4GMR70G01 cells, or the combined set of Scer\GAL4GMR24C06 and Scer\GAL4GMR70G01 cells, significantly diminishes the responses of wedge projection neurons to the onset of wind and slightly reduces the tonic wind response.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1::Csub\ChRCsChrimson.IVS.20xUAS.Venus) of Scer\GAL4GMR70G01 cells has no significant effect on activity of wedge projection neurons, relative to controls.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR70G01 neurons in adult females significantly reduces 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\GAL4GMR70G01 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
