The R45H04 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain). A Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.

Inhibition (using Hsap\KCNJ2UAS.EGFP) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02, in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to the adult stage, does not affect food intake or climbing rate, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 in adults does not affect food intake or climbing rate, compared to controls.
Adult males with inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 have significantly weaker suppression of courtship behavior following training with mated females, compared to controls.
Blocking synaptic transmission (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xScer\UAS at 33[o]C) from neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 significantly impairs visual (aversive color discrimination conditioning) memory performance, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 28.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 in adult males or females does not significantly affect the amount of sleep, compared to controls; activation does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 33[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R45H04 and Hsap\RELAAD.R13F02 in adults significantly reduces aversive and appetitive 1-min olfactory memory, compared to controls; inhibition during testing alone, but not training, significantly reduces aversive 30-min visual memory, compared to controls inhibition does not significantly affect responses to sugar or electric shock, compared to controls.
