Expression of 5-HT7dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS in cells defined by Scer\GAL45-HT7.ERGP produces courting and mating deficits. Early behaviors such as orienting and wing vibration are not significantly affected, whereas later behaviors such as curling or licking and copulation attempts are significantly reduced, with later events like successful copulation events even eliminated.
Expression of 5-HT7dsRNA.Sym.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL45-HT7.ERGP results in significant impairment of short-term memory, compared to wild-type and single line controls.
