This research explores how certain animals, specifically mole-rats, use the Earth's magnetic field for navigation. It aims to identify the brain regions and receptors involved in this magnetic sense through advanced neurobiological techniques.
Many animals use the Earth’s magnetic field for orientation, but the sensory cells and molecular mechanisms of the magnetic sense remain a mystery. I propose to tackle this fundamental problem in sensory biology with a top-down approach that exploits state-of-the-art methodology to unravel the neural circuits underlying magnetic orientation.
To take advantage of the knowledge and toolkits available for rodent brains I chose a rodent model organism:
Mole-rats, which navigate through a maze of und…
