Neuroscientists from Israel have discovered that bats have a mental compass that works in 3D, and this allows the flying mammals to orient themselves efficiently as they navigate through the air. For ...

Head direction cells in the bat hippocampus encode three-dimensional representations of space Israeli researchers have identified three-dimensional ‘compass’ cells in the bat brain, explaining how the ...

A pair of UCLA bioengineers and a former postdoctoral scholar have developed a new class of bionic 3D camera systems that can mimic flies' multiview vision and bats' natural sonar sensing, resulting ...

A group of researchers studying bats has made an interesting discovery. The team has discovered that bats have specialized cells inside their body that allow them to navigate in 3D. According to the ...
