I ❤ Egyptian Fruit Bats

Recent studies have uncovered very interesting uses of neurons in the Egyptian Fruit Bat brain. These neurons, otherwise known as place cells have been put to a very curious use in the daily life of the bat. They use these cells to map out 3-D landscapes. Like a dot on a road map, the cells are used to map out the rooms that they have been put in. Scientists recorded these results by strapping brain-wave reading technology onto the heads of the bats, and discovered this amazing evolutionary benefit.
