The R35B12 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by the p65(AD)::Zip+ hemidriver (component of a 'split driver' system, contains the p65 activation domain). A Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.

Blocking synaptic transmission (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xScer\UAS at 33[o]C) from neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4DBD.R26E07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12 does not significantly impair 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.R41C07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12 significantly decreases the amount of sleep in adult males or females, compared to controls, and results in extra rebound sleep after activation, but does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males; activation of neurons targeted by Scer\GAL4DBD.R26E07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12 significantly decreases the amount of sleep in adult females, but not males, compared to controls, with no effect on locomotor activity of awake adult males; activation of neurons targeted by Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35B12 significantly decreases the amount of sleep in males, but not females, compared to controls, and significantly decreases locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
