This paper develops a functional digital twin of the hippocampus in bats to uncover latent neural organization during natural flight behavior.

This paper introduces a frame-free imaging method using event cameras to capture neural activity with high temporal resolution and reduced data output, demonstrating its ability to resolve single action potentials and network dynamics.

The paper shows that grid cells in bats use a two-dimensional toroidal code to navigate three-dimensional space by aligning with two-dimensional planes of motion.

This study investigates motor cortical computations in freely flying bats, revealing a high-dimensional neural regime with sparse neuron activity and precise phase entrainment during complex flight maneuvers.

The paper identifies proteins and regulatory elements associated with vocal learning by analyzing bat neural activity and epigenomic data.

This study investigates the role of auditory feedback in vocal production learning in Egyptian fruit-bats by deafening pups and analyzing adult vocalizations.

The paper investigates how neural activity differs between socially interacting brains and how these differences evolve alongside shared activity patterns, proposing a computational mechanism to unify these observations.

This paper presents a hierarchical anti-Hebbian network model that simulates the formation of 3D spatial cells, including new cell types and explains anisotropic coding and discrepancies in 3D navigation.

The paper identifies the anterior dorsal striatum as the first brain region satisfying criteria for evidence accumulation during decision-making in rodents.
