What resolves this contention: Disinhibition vs direct PV recruitment as the dominant mode of VIP→pyramidal control / Pi et al. 2013 (Nature) and Pfeffer et al. 2013 (Nat Neurosci) describe a canonical VIP→SST→pyramidal disinhibition motif as the dominant action of VIP interneurons. However, Karnani et al. 2016 (Neuron 'Opening Holes in the Blanket of Inhibition') argues VIP disinhibition is spatially restricted and only opens 'holes' rather than producing global disinhibition; some studies (Wall et al., Garcia-Junco-Clemente 2017) suggest VIP can also strongly contact PV in certain laminae, complicating the simple SST-only target view. / Pi et al. 2013 (Nature) and Pfeffer et al. 2013 (Nat Neurosci) describe a canonical VIP→SST→pyramidal disinhibition motif as the dominant action of VIP interneurons.
