BE Seminar: “Studying the Neural basis of Natural Spatial, Social and Acoustic Behaviors – in Freely Behaving and Flying Bats” (Michael Yartsev, UC Berkeley)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This is a hybrid seminar that will take place in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (check email for link and passcode). Our lab seeks to understand the neural basis of complex spatial, acoustic and social behaviors in mammals. To do so, we take a neuroethological approach that leverages the specialization of the bat […]
