Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 30[o]C) of Scer\GAL4VT011155 cells in adults significantly increases sucrose consumption and decreases water intake, compared to controls; proboscis extension in response to sucrose is significantly increased, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using nSybdsRNA.UAS.cUa) of Scer\GAL4VT011155 cells in adults significantly increases water intake and decreases sucrose consumption, compared to controls.
