A 3038 base pair fragment from the flanking non-coding or intronic region of Fur1 is fused upstream of a Drosophila core synthetic promoter (DSCP) that is followed by sequence encoding a GAL4 driver.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa) of neurons targeted by Scer\GAL4GMR26B12 results in a significant increase of antennal grooming behavior, compared to controls.
