Novel environments trigger a transient increase in VIP interneuron activity.

Quoted textsource-backed
Using all-optical methods in mice navigating virtual reality, we show that novel environments trigger a transient increase in VIP interneuron activity
Claim 2behavioral requirementsupports2025Source 1DOI

Both insufficient and excessive VIP interneuron activity impair reward-seeking behavior specifically in novel environments, indicating that balanced VIP activity is required for spatial learning.
