What resolves this contention: Whether VIP+ activation drives sensory enhancement is universal across cortical areas / VIP+ interneurons in visual cortex enhance sensory processing during locomotion (Fu et al. 2014, cited in both papers), and a CA1 long-range VIP+ population is associated with quiet wakefulness (Francavilla et al.). In auditory cortex, optogenetic activation of VIP+ does not improve stimulus encoding and instead reduces encoding efficiency (Bigelow et al. 2019). / VIP+ interneurons in visual cortex enhance sensory processing during locomotion (Fu et al. 2014, cited in both papers), and a CA1 long-range VIP+ population is associated with quiet wakefulness (Francavilla et al.).
