Jan Gründemann and researches of the laboratory of Andreas Lüthi at the Friederich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Sciences (FMI) have shown that two ensembles of neurons display orthogonal activity during exploratory and nonexploratory behaviors, possibly reflecting different levels of anxiety experienced in these areas. Their findings were recently published in Science.
