How is three-dimensional space encoded in the brain?
We live in a three-dimensional world. Questions about how we perceive and represent the three-dimensional world that surrounds us have occupied humankind for centuries.
Some of Nachum Ulanovsky’s group main results in recent years included: the finding that in flight,…
