VIP Interneurons and Visual Perception
How VIP interneurons regulate cortical size tuning and visual perception
We discovered that VIP interneurons play a crucial role in visual processing by regulating how neurons respond to differently sized stimuli. This work revealed how specific inhibitory circuits shape both neural activity and behavioral performance during visual tasks.
