@danielavallentin.bsky.social moving on to birds that really sing - nightingales in the wild!

How does a bird remember where it stored its food? @selmaan.bsky.social telling us about neural mechanisms leading to this fascinating behaviour

@arkarupbanerjee.bsky.social revealing what neural mechanisms are conserved and what have diverged between lab mice and singing mice

Michael Brecht talking about why the differences in brain size in elephants might be more important than the differences in their ear sizes @behaviour2025.bsky.social

Come visit Calcutta in the last week of August and see some amazing neuroscientists talk about the neural basis of behaviour at @behaviour2025.bsky.social

With @neuroetho.bsky.social @danielavallentin.bsky.social @selmaan.bsky.social @arkarupbanerjee.bsky.social and Michael Brecht!

With wireless neural recordings, we found that hippocampal neurons encoded not only space, but also social information – including identity of specific bats, sex, hierarchy, affiliation and social interactions – forming a socio-spatial cognitive map.

And they did...

To explore this we created a ‘bat-cave’, and let a bunch of bats do whatever they wanted

How does the brain work in natural scenarios, in multi-animal societies of wild animals? 🧠 🧪 🦇

Our work on neural recordings in flying bats on an island.

@shakedpa.bsky.social is a great speaker and it's fun work!
