Searching for magnetic compass mechanism in pigeon retinal photoreceptors

Migratory birds can detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field using the magnetic compass sense. However, the sensory basis of the magnetic compass still remains a puzzle. A large body of indirect evidence suggests that magnetic compass in birds is localized in the retina. To confirm th...
