Inhibitory neurons: VIP neurons expect rewards

Jing Zou et al. Curr Biol. .

Abstract

Inhibitory neurons which express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, VIPs, are a small subset of the mammalian cortex but in importance live up to their acronym. New research shows that these critical control knobs of cortical activity are specifically activated by actions taken when rewards are anticipated rather than consummated.
