the senses

Bats also lose their hearing but the process happens in a moderate way in relation to their noisy living environment

Two surprising discoveries: contrary to the popular hypothesis, bats do suffer from hearing loss with age, but they apparently have surprising mechanisms that help them slow down the rate of hearing loss

In the experiment planned by the team of scientists, which included Dr. Avi Sayeg, Dr. Goren Gordon and Eldad Asa from Prof. Ehud Ahisher's group and Dr. Amos Arieli, all from the Department of Neurobiology, the subjects were asked to sit on a chair with their eyes covered. Their two index fingers - In the right hand and left hand - thin elastic "bristles" 30 cm long were attached, to the base of which a position meter and a force meter were attached.

Weizmann Institute scientists connected "rat whisker bristles" to human fingers, and discovered how the brain learns to use a new sense
