Animals produced expressing the wild-type DAT-1 translational fusion (BY312 vtIs6 [Pdat-1::GFP:DAT-1;
rol-6]), displayed a readily detectable level of expression in all dopaminergic head neurons (CEP, ADE). This expression pattern is consistent with the DA neuron-specific expression of a
dat-1 transcriptional fusion (BY200), described previously (see Paper
cgc5147).
