Novel environments trigger a transient increase in VIP interneuron activity.
we show that novel environments trigger a transient increase in VIP interneuron activity
Both insufficient and excessive VIP interneuron activity impair reward-seeking behavior specifically in novel environments.

Bidirectional optogenetic manipulation of VIP interneuron activity modulates the speed of spatial map formation and alters BTSP signatures.
Bidirectional optogenetic manipulation -suppressing or upregulating VIP interneuron activity- modulates the speed of spatial map formation and alters signatures of behavioral timescale plasticity (BTSP)
The transient increase in VIP interneuron activity facilitates rapid place-field formation and stable spatial map construction.

VIP interneurons gate a temporal window for place-cell plasticity that mediates the effect of environmental novelty on hippocampal remapping and spatial memory.
VIP interneurons gate a temporal window for place cell plasticity, mediating the impact of environmental novelty on hippocampal remapping and spatial memory.
VIP-expressing interneurons are key regulators of hippocampal place-cell plasticity during remapping in novel environments.
Here, we identify vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-expressing interneurons as key regulators of this plasticity.
