NPFRlexA/NPFRc01896 males have significantly increased courtship towards males, compared to controls.
NPFRc01896 homozygous adult ab3A neurons present a significant decrease in the frequency of odor-evoked electrophysiological spikes in response to ethyl butyrate and apple odor and do not display the normal sexual dimorphism regarding odor-evoked electrophysiological response, by which young males (1-3 days old) exhibit a significantly higher frequency of ethyl butyrate-evoked electrophysiological spikes than age-matched females, as compared to controls.
NPFRc01896/Df(3R)Tpl3 transheterozygous adult ab3A neurons present a significant decrease in the frequency of ethyl butyrate-evoked electrophysiological spikes, as compared to each heterozygous and wild-type controls.
NPFRc01896 mutant larvae fail to form short-term olfactory memory following training with 0.02 M fructose, with their performance being significantly impaired compared to controls; this effect does not occur when larvae are trained using 2 M fructose, even when they are starved beforehand. They have no innate difference in odor or sugar preference compared to controls.
Food deprived NPFR1c01896 flies exhibit an impaired appetitive memory.
NPFRc01896 is rescued by Scer\GAL4Or22a.7.717/NPFRUAS.RD
NPFRc01896 is not rescued by Scer\GAL4Or22a.7.717/NPFRUAS.RB
The decreased frequency of ethyl butyrate-evoked electrophysiological spikes observed in NPFRc01896 homozygous adult ab3A neurons is rescued by the expression of NPFRScer\UAS.RD, but not NPFRScer\UAS.RB, under the control of Scer\GAL4Or22a.7.717.
