This project explores how animals, particularly pigeons, detect the Earth's magnetic field during migration. It aims to identify the primary sensors and processing centers in the brain, utilizing advanced imaging and molecular techniques to understand the encoding of magnetic information.
Each year millions of animals undertake remarkable migratory journeys, across oceans and through hemispheres, guided by the Earth’s magnetic field.
While there is unequivocal behavioural evidence demonstrating the existence of the magnetic sense, it is the least understood of all sensory faculties.
The biophysical, molecular, cellular, and neurological underpinnings of the sense remain opaque.
In this application we aim to remedy this situation, exploiting an established assay, our unique infras…
