The role of inhibitory neurons in deviance sound detection in regular and random statistical contexts.

Xiaomao Ding, Nathan W. Vogler, Mélanie Tobin, Linda Garami, Alexandria M.H. Lesicko, Katherine C. Wood, Maria Neimark Geffen

The paper investigates how inhibitory neurons in the mouse auditory cortex modulate context-dependent deviance responses to sound patterns, revealing a specific role for VIP neurons in enhancing deviance detection in regular contexts.
