This project investigates how bats navigate in complex environments by studying specific neurons in their hippocampus that encode spatial information. It aims to understand how these neurons function in real-world navigation scenarios, including three-dimensional spaces and long distances.
The mammalian hippocampal formation contains place cells, grid cells, head-direction cells and border cells, which collectively represent the animal’s position (‘map’), distance traveled (‘odometer’) and direction (‘compass’), and are thought to underlie navigation.
These neurons are typically studied in rodents running on linear tracks or in small empty boxes, ~1×1 m in size.
However, real-world navigation differs dramatically from typical laboratory setups, in at least three ways – which we…
