This project aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind magnetoreception in animals. By identifying and characterizing specific cells and molecules, it seeks to explain how animals navigate using the Earth's magnetic field.
Each year millions of animals undertake remarkable migratory journeys, across oceans and through hemispheres, guided by the Earth’s magnetic field.
The cellular and molecular basis of this enigmatic sense, known as magnetoreception, remains an unsolved scientific mystery.
One hypothesis that attempts to explain the basis of this sensory faculty is known as the magnetite theory of magnetoreception.
It argues that magnetic information is transduced into a neuronal impulse by employing the iron oxi…
