•Bats employ instant compensation strategy when they can't hear, study shows

Johns Hopkins University study suggests bats' brains are hard-wired with an ability to launch a Plan B in times of diminished hearing.
Researchers trained bats to fly from a platform, down a corridor, and through a window to get a treat.
They then had the same bats repeat the task but with a critical auditory pathway in the midbrain temporarily blocked.
With their hearing blocked, bats were able to navigate the course surprisingly well.
