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 ...

Bats have a three-dimensional "compass" in their brains that allows them to navigate nighttime environments and pull off complex maneuvers in flight without becoming disoriented, researchers have ...

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 ...

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 ...

Animal inspiration Bats create a three-dimensional acoustic image of insects as they swoop through jungles, fields and forests. Now, bio-engineers have put together a 3D computer model of more than ...

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 ...

Recordings from the brains of bats as they flew in a lab have revealed that the animals have a "neural compass" which lets them keep track of exactly where, and even which way up they are. So called ...
