A new magnetic soap could be used to clean animals after a spill, and can be recovered using a magnet so that none of the detergents remain in the environment.

Some animals can detect this field, which reveals the direction of magnetic north, and use it to navigate (see «Whales and terns turn together»).

Horton told last month's meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco that this suggests the animals are somehow sensing this ratio, perhaps relying on the symmetry of the bio-magnetite crystals they are thought to use to detect the magnetic field.

Another is that there may be photopigments in the eye called cryptochromes that detect the magnetic field chemically and provide a visual cue that an animal can use as a kind of compass.

The perception of Earth's magnetic field is used by many animal species for orientation and navigation.

Many animals use Earth's magnetic field for navigation, but exactly how they detect it has been a puzzle — until now.

Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected eels could sense magnetic fields, and a 2013 study proposed the animals used a «magnetic compass» to orient using the North Pole.

Because sea turtles use a similar magnetic map, the researchers speculate that many migratory marine animals, such as eels, sharks, and seals, may also navigate using magnetic fields.

For the last decade, neuroscientists have been using the non-invasive brain - mapping technique functional called magnetic resonance imaging or fMRI to examine activity patterns in human and animal brains in the resting state in order to figure out how different parts of the brain are connected and to identify the changes that occur in neurological and psychiatric diseases.
