Physiological Mechanisms for Spatial Filtering and Image Enhancement in the Sonar of Bats
Abstract
Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is the major pathway for the degradation of fatty acids and is essential for maintaining energy homeostasis in the human body. Fatty acids are a crucial energy source in the postabsorptive and fasted states when ...Read More

The active process of emission and comparison enables the bat to assemble an image of the external world and thus successfully navigate and predate.
“Like the mormyrid, this active process of emission and comparison enables the bat to assemble an image of the external world55–57 and thus successfully navigate and predate.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
