The R52G04 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 protein synthesis (using Rcom\RA[cs2.UAS] at 30[o]C) for the full 24 h between spaced training and testing in neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R94B10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04, significantly impairs aversive olfactory long term memory in adults, compared to controls.
Acute inhibition of endocytosis (using shi1.UAS at 32[o]C) in neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R94B10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 during testing, 24 h after spaced, but not massed, training significantly impairs aversive olfactory long term memory in adults, 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.R49F03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 significantly impairs visual (brightness discrimination conditioning) memory performance, compared to controls; there is no significant effect on memory after aversive color discrimination conditioning.

Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 32[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R17C11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 in adults during, or immediately after, training or during, but not immediately before, testing, significantly impairs long-term appetitive olfactory memory, compared to controls; inhibition does not affect short-term memory.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R17C11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 in adults, in combination with a paired odor, results in formation of a significant attractive olfactory long-term memory, 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.R17C11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R94B10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04, in adult males does not significantly affect the amount of sleep, compared to controls; activation significantly increases locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xUAS at 31.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R94B10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 in adult males does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.

Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa or TrpA120xUAS.JFRC124 at 28.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R94B10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52G04 in adults significantly increases sleep, compared to controls, with no effect on social or locomotor behaviors.
