Correlations between progression indices of five categories of nuclei and brain centers indicate that Megachiroptera rely primarily on vision and olfaction while Microchiroptera rely primarily on audition. Among Microchiroptera, some rely more heavily on olfaction than on vision as a secondary sense, and vice-versa. There may have been compensatory effects, in the course of evolution, regarding the choice of the primary and secondary information channels.
五类细胞核和脑中枢的发育指标之间的相关性表明，大蝙蝠亚目主要依赖视觉和嗅觉，而小蝙蝠亚目主要依赖听觉。在小蝙蝠亚目中，有些蝙蝠作为第二感官，对嗅觉的依赖程度高于视觉，反之亦然。在进化过程中，关于主要和次要信息通道的选择可能存在补偿效应。
