Article Synopsis
  • Specialized GABAergic interneurons (INs) in the neocortex target other INs but their role in the hippocampus, especially during spatial navigation and learning, is less understood.
  • *Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers observed that VIP-expressing disinhibitory INs in the hippocampus create functional groups that respond to different behaviors and tasks.
  • *Manipulating VIP INs demonstrated that they are crucial for goal-directed learning, indicating their important role in organizing the activity of hippocampal pyramidal cells during spatial learning.*
