High resolution anatomical mapping confirms the absence of a magnetic sense system in the rostral upper beak of pigeons
The cells that are responsible for detecting magnetic fields in animals remain undiscovered. Previous studies have proposed that pigeons employ a magnetic sense system that consists of six bilateral patches of magnetite containing dendrites located in the rostral subepidermis of the upper beak. We h...
