The same neurons that help bats navigate through space may also help them navigate collective social environments, finds a new study published today in the journal Nature. Many mammals — including bats and humans — are believed to navigate with the help of a brain structure called the hippocampus, which encodes a mental "map" of familiar surroundings. For example, as you walk around your neighborhood or commute to work, individual "place" neurons in the hippocampus fire to indicate where you are.
