Bats - like humans - can find their favorite fruit stand (or coffee shop) even when it's hidden behind a screen or tall buildings. How? The Weizmann Institute of Science's Prof. Nachum Ulanovsky and team have now identified the neurons that point bats in the right direction, even when their destination is obscured. This could aid understanding of some aspects of Alzheimer's.
