Extended Data Fig. 1: Spatially selective cells during flight.

a, Example spatially selective cells across one flight trajectory. Left column depicts the flight trajectory (grey lines, top view) and overlaid spikes (red dots) of seven example neurons, sorted by location of peak firing from take-off (grey triangle) to landing (bottom to top row). Right column shows the raster plot across 22 repetitions of the same trajectory. Neural activity is plotted along a normalized flight trajectory, with all flights temporally aligned and rescaled, such that take-off and landing coincide in the visualization. Note that owing to the high similarity of flights, minimal rescaling is needed. b, Distributions of field size, stability, peak firing rate and spatial information (Methods) for 1,620 neurons x trajectory. Data are from 990 spatially tuned neurons, 6 bats (Methods).
