ScerGAL4GMR87G01 drives expression mainly in antennal mechanosensory and motor center AMMC PN4 projection neuron, but also drives expression in neurons in the lamina, as well as a subset of ALl1 lineage neurons in the antennal lobe, a neuron innervating the wing neuropil, and descending projections into the terminal abdominal nerve from the last abdominal segment.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR87G01 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\GAL4GMR87G01 neurons in adult females does not significantly affect receptivity to mating, compared to controls.
