Abstract

Echolocating bats are among the only mammals capable of powered flight, and they rely on active sensing to find food and steer around obstacles in 3D environments. These natural behaviors depend on neural circuits that support 3D auditory localization, audio-motor integration, navigation, and flight control, which are modulated by spatial attention and action selection.
