Table 2. Percent DNs expressing each neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitter Labeled using Percent
Acetylcholine Cha-Gal4 > GFP (neurons expressing choline acetyltransferase) 38
GABA GABA antibody 37
Glutamate VGlut-Gal4 > UAS-mCD8-GFP (neurons expressing vesicular glutamate transporter) 6*
Serotonin Ddc-Gal4 > UAS-mCD8-GFP (neurons expressing dopamine decarboxylase) 3*
Octopamine Tdc2-Gal4 > UAS-mCD8-GFP (neurons expressing tyramine decarboxylase) 1*
Dopamine TH antibody 0.2*
Total   85

For acetylcholine and GABA, the percentage was computed by summing the largest number of colabeled neurons in each cluster, then dividing by the total number of bulk labeled neurons found in those clusters (see Supplementary Data for details).

*Percent for neuromodulators reported as the result of dividing the sum of the maximum number of colabeled neurons per cluster by 900, the average number of neurons labeled by our bulk labeling technique.
