A global screen for magnetically induced neuronal activity in the pigeon brain

How animals detect Earth’s magnetic field remains a mystery in sensory biology. Despite extensive behavioral evidence, the neural circuitry and molecular mechanisms responsible for magnetic sensing re...

Excited to share our work on the neuronal & sensory basis of #magnetoreception in pigeons is now online @science.org. A true team effort with Grégory Nordmann and the Keays lab. Thanks to our great collaborators, facilities, and funding: @lmumuenchen.bsky.social @impvienna.bsky.social
