Nachum Ulanovsky

Name: Nachum Ulanovsky
Born: 1973
Occupation: Neuroscientist
Nationality: Israeli

Nachum Ulanovsky is a neuroscientist best known for studying how the brain understands space using one of nature’s most skilled navigators—bats. At the Weizmann Institute of Science, Nachum and his team made groundbreaking discoveries by tracking how bats fly, map their surroundings, and find their way in total darkness.

His research focuses on how the brain builds internal maps, helping us understand spatial memory, navigation, and even how we know where we are in a room. His work has major implications for neuroscience and could one day help treat disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, which affects memory and orientation.

In The Remarkablz Universe, Nachum's can create and reshape the space around him. Long ago, while tracking the neural patterns of bats deep in a cave system, Nachum got lost. He doesn't remember what happened but when he emerged days later, he was no longer just a scientist—he was able to tap into invisible maps encoded in the environment. He senses spatial shifts before they happen and manipulates the layout of buildings, tunnels, and even airspace to protect others, trap enemies, and escape any threat.
