The VT999036 fragment is fused upstream of a Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by a GAL4 driver.
ScerGAL4VT999036 drives expression in mushroom body extrinsic neurons that innervate mushroom body gamma lobe slices 1, 2, 4 and 5.
Inhibition (using Hsap\KCNJ2UAS.EGFP) of Scer\GAL4VT999036 neurons, in combination with a Gal80[ts] transgene to restrict expression to 1 day prior to training and testing, does not affect 3 hour aversive olfactory memory, compared to controls.
