Scientific Abstract

Learning is accompanied by temporal compression and sharpening of neuronal firing sequences. In this issue of Neuron, Adler et al. (2019), using a motor skill paradigm and its variant, uncover a dual role for somatostatin interneuron regulation to support ensemble compaction and protection in learning.
