Adult flies expressing dncdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU show significant decrease in the amnestic cooling resistant memory component at 3 hr post-training in an olfactory memory assay compared to controls.
Expression of dncdsRNA.UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 in adults significantly reduces the anaesthesia-resistant component of short term (5 min) memory, compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL4NP0021 has no effect on the anaesthesia-resistant component of medium term (3 h) aversive olfactory memory, compared to controls; expression under the control of Scer\GAL44-59 significantly reduces long term (24 h after massed training) aversive olfactory memory, compared to controls.
Expression of dncdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU results in defective short term memory, 3 min after olfactory conditioning, and defective anaethesia-resistant memory, but not defective anaesthesia-sensitive memory, when cold-amnestic treatment is applied 30 min before testing 3 h odor memory, as compared to controls.
Expression of dncdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4GH298 or Scer\GAL4NP1227, but not Scer\GAL4Orco.PU, Scer\GAL4Mef2.247 or Scer\GAL4NP0225, significantly decreases short term memory performance 3 min after olfactory conditioning.
Expression of dncdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4GH298, but not Scer\GAL4Mef2.247, results in defective anaethesia-resistant memory, but not defective anaesthesia-sensitive memory, when cold-amnestic treatment is applied 30 min before testing 3 h odor memory, as compared to controls.
dncRNAi.UAS.WIZ/Scer\GAL4elav.PU is a non-enhancer of abnormal memory | adult stage phenotype of Dop2RΔ1
The reduced 3 hr olfactory memory characteristic for Dop2RΔ1 homozygous adults is not decreased further, and neither are any of its components (amnesia resistant or sensitive), by expression of dncdsRNA.Scer\UAS.WIZ under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU in the mutant background.
