A newly identified trigeminal brain pathway in a night-migratory bird could be dedicated to transmitting magnetic map information

Night-migratory songbirds can use geomagnetic information to navigate over thousands of kilometres with great precision. A crucial part of the magnetic 'map' information used by night-migratory songbirds is conveyed via the ophthalmic branches of the trigeminal nerves to the trigeminal bra...
