Research on spatial memory in bats wins Eppendorf & Science prize, 3/14
March 2014—Israeli scientist Michael Yartsev, PhD, CV Starr postdoctoral research fellow of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University, won the 2013 Eppendorf & Science Prize for Neurobiology. Dr. Yartsev uses an unusual animal model—the bat—to study the underlying neural mechanisms of spatial memory and navigation in the mammalian brain.
