The GMR26A02 enhancer fragment followed by the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) is fused upstream of the p65(AD)::Zip+ hemidriver (component of a 'split driver' system, contains the p65 activation domain).

Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa at 30-31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R26B12 and Hsap\RELAAD.R26A02 results in a significant increase of antennal grooming behavior compared to control flies; there is a small but significant decrease in antennal grooming behavior following antennal amputation.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1Cs.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with red light activation) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R18C11 induces antennal grooming, which does not persist beyond (some grooming bouts even ending prior) to red light cessation.
Hsap\RELAAD.R26A02, Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS, Scer\GAL4DBD.R26B12 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal grooming behavior | heat sensitive phenotype of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08, TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26
Inhibition of synaptic release (using Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.Scer\UAS) in neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R26B12 and Hsap\RELAAD.R26A02 significantly partially suppresses the increase in antennal grooming seen in flies with thermogenetic activation (using TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26 at 30-31[o]C) of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08 neurons.
