This GAL4 line drives expression in hygrosensitive neurons in the second chamber of the sacculus.
ScerGAL4Ir40a.3011 is expressed in the neurons that innervate the basiconic and blunt-tipped sensillum of sacculus and in a subset of antennal lobe glomeruli.
Inhibition (using Hsap\KCNJ2UAS.EGFP) of Scer\GAL4Ir40a.3011 neurons in adults results in a loss of the increase in heat avoidance displayed by controls when heat is coupled with dry conditions, relative to humid conditions.
