If such a particle is placed
in a
magnetic field whose strength varies from region to region, it will move toward the weakest or strongest part of the field, depending on the particle's
orientation [see illustration on next page].
Paul realized that it is possible to design a
magnetic field with a local minimum

We furthermore suggested that Cluster N is likely to process such light - mediated
magnetic compass responses, based on the fact that Cluster N is the only known forebrain area that is highly active during
magnetic compass
orientation, and on the theoretical model [7] on
magnetic field modulation of the light sensitivity of specialized receptor molecules
in the retina of the birds, [for detailed arguments see 13], [14].
The proper placement of retrograde tracer into Cluster N was proven by co-localization of tracer and the neuronal activity marker ZENK, since Cluster N is the only part of the forebrain displaying movement - independent ZENK activity

in distinct subregions (the shell surrounding the DNH nucleus)-RSB-, as shown by the detailed quantification of ZENK expression within Cluster N performed
in this study], and this expression massively decreased
in corresponding brain areas of non-migratory songbirds and
in all bird species during daytime [13].
However, preliminary research suggests there are at least three problems concerning metal

magnetic north.
