In fors homozygous mutants, expression of forUAS.T2 under the control of either Scer\GAL430Y, Scer\GAL4c739 or Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y leads to higher fifteen-minute memory scores after a single conditioning trial (similar to those observed in forR homozygous mutants) and lower 24 h memory scores after five spaced conditioning trials (similar to or below those observed in forR homozygous mutants) when compared to controls.
Neuronal expression of forScer\UAS.T2 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 in fors mutants results in a significantly higher sucrose response in these flies compared to controls.
