Researchers at Cal have released a study about how bats navigate and they think it may provide answers to some human behavior and even insight into Alzheimer's disease.
BERKELEY -- The phrase"blind as a bat" may be an alliterative simile but that doesn't make it true.
Researchers at UC Berkeley used wireless neural devices to monitor the hippocampal brain activity in Egyptian fruit bats as they flew freely in a large flight room and moved among"tightly clustered" social groups of other bats. The scientists found something that surprised them, they said. The neurons in the bat brains that stored"place" also stored far more than just the bat's location.
"And surprisingly, we found it in the hub of what was supposed to be the brain's GPS," said Yartsev."We found that it still acts like GPS, but one that is also tuned to the social dynamic in the environment."
