Interaction of magnetite-based receptors in the beak with the visual system underlying 'fixed direction' responses in birds

BACKGROUND: European robins, Erithacus rubecula, show two types of directional responses to the magnetic field: (1) compass orientation that is based on radical pair processes and lateralized in favor of the right eye and (2) so-called 'fixed direction' responses that originate in the magn...
