Inhibition (using Ork1Δ-C.UAS.EGFP) of Scer\GAL4NP1076 cells in adults given a choice between sucrose solution and water results in significantly reduced sucrose, but not water, consumption, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4NP1076 cells in adults given a choice between sucrose solution and water results in significantly increased water and sucrose consumption, compared to controls; activation in adults given access to only a single solution results in significantly increased sucrose, xylitol, caffeine or water consumption, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa with an infrared heat pulse to the head) of Scer\GAL4NP1076 cells in adults significantly increases proboscis extensions, compared to controls.
