Eye saccades align optic flow with retinal specializations during object pursuit in freely moving ferrets Motion blur on the retina degrades vision acuity. How do visual systems of animals chasing prey solve this to retain acuity? Wallace et al. show that saccadic eye movements measured in freely pursuing...

Freely chasing mammals. Led by Damo in collab with David Fitzpatrick, we show how eye movements enable ferrets to simultaneously navigate and chase fleeing objects

@katrinfranke.bsky.social - Congrats! but don’t leave Bay Area without saying good-bye!

Acoustic cognitive map–based navigation in echolocating bats Bats are known for their ability to use echolocation for obstacle avoidance and orientation. However, the extent to which bats utilize their highly local and directional echolocation for kilometer-sca...

I’m new to Bluesky - and new to bats - my first bat paper! Led by the amazing Aya Goldshtein. We show how they navigate their environment, and provide evidence that they employ an acoustic map! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
