ScerGAL4GMR15A04 drives expression in ~26 tyrosine hydroxylase positive dopaminergic PAM neurons and ~4 tyrosine hydroxylase negative, non dopaminergic neurons.
ScerGAL4GMR15A04 drives expression in a subset of PAM neurons that innervate mushroom body beta lobe slice 2, alpha lobe slice 1, beta' lobe slice 1, gamma lobe slice 5 and the pedunculus.
Blocking the output (using shi1.UAS at 33[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR15A04 neurons shortly before and during training significantly impairs long-term memory, but not short-term memory in starved flies trained with sucrose, compared to controls.
Acute thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 33[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR15A04 neurons results in a significant long-term preference for a paired odor (artificial memory) in starved flies, but not flies that are fed between training and testing, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR15A04 cells in adults, in combination with a paired odor, results in a significant increase in long-term, but not short-term, associative attractive olfactory memory, compared to controls; memory induction does not occur when activation is restricted to a smaller subset of cells using Scer\GAL80R58E02.
Inhibition (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xUAS at 33[o]C) of Scer\GAL4GMR15A04 cells in adults during training significantly reduces long-term, but not short-term, associative appetitive (sugar) olfactory memory, compared to controls; memory reduction does not occur when activation is restricted to a smaller subset of cells using Scer\GAL80R58E02.
Optogenetic activation (using Crei\ChR2UAS.cSa with 470 nm (blue) light) of Scer\GAL4GMR15A04 cells in larvae results in a significant increase in turning behaviors, compared to controls.
