Janelia has generated a set of stocks carrying combinations of "split" transcriptional activators that activate UAS reporters in specific sets of neurons in the mushroom body and optic lobe.
The expression patterns for each line can be found at the Janelia FlyLight site. Links to the data for individual lines are provided in the Janelia line identifier column.

Control stocks - These stocks carry the GAL4 DNA binding domain and/or the p65 activation domain in the same vector used to make the Janelia split GAL4 collection but with no regulatory fragment present.
