Expression detected in three warmth-responsive sensory neurons in the arista. Neuron in wing vein L3 projects through the anterior cross vein to branch within the L4 vein.
ScerGAL4hot-cell labels the three cilitated neurons at the base of the arista which are activated by warm temperatures and which project to the VP3 glomeruli of the antennal lobe.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4hot-cell cells in adults does not affect aversive temperature or shock olfactory memory, compared to controls.
Drives specific expression in the hot-sensing neurons of the antenna.
