From: Role of serotonergic neurons in the Drosophila larval response to light

Figure 8

Pan-neural expression of 5-HT1A Dro receptors reduces the larval response to light. Pan-neural expression of 5-HT1ADro, 5-HT1BDro, 5-HT2Dro, or 5-HT7Dro receptors in all post-mitotic neurons was carried out by using the elav-GAL4 driver. Early foraging 3rd instar larvae expressing 5-HT1ADro receptors but not any of the other 5-HT receptor subtypes in the nervous system showed significantly reduced response to light when compared with both parental control larvae (elav-GAL4/UAS-5HT1A Dro , n = 27, RI = 0.19; elav-GAL4/+, n = 20, RI = 0.33; UAS-5HT1A Dro /+, n = 30, RI = 0.36; ANOVA: F(2,74) = 34.61, p < 0.001). *** p < 0.001.
