Sentences with phrase «magnetic compass orientation»

Citation: Heyers D, Manns M, Luksch H, Güntürkün O, Mouritsen H (2007) A Visual Pathway Links Brain Structures Active during Magnetic Compass Orientation in Migratory Birds.

Thus, the two areas of the central nervous system being most active during magnetic compass orientation are part of an ascending visual processing stream, the thalamofugal pathway.

Thus, the identification of what sensory system (s) is active during magnetic compass orientation, provides a way to recognize the sensory quality utilized during that specific behavior.

This finding implies that visual information is the major input to Cluster N and supports the idea that magnetic compass orientation is linked to night vision.

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 night - migratory birds sitting still or performing magnetic compass orientation under dim light conditions at night [13].

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].

By combining neuronal tracing with behavioral experiments leading to sensory - driven gene expression of the neuronal activity marker ZENK during magnetic compass orientation, we demonstrate a functional neuronal connection between the retinal neurons and Cluster N via the visual thalamus.

We combined a behavioral test for magnetic compass orientation in mole rats and immunocytochemical visualization of the transcription factor c - Fos as a marker of neuronal activity.

Place a muon in a magnetic field perpendicular to the orientation of its magnetization, and its magnetic polarity will turn, or precess, just like a twirling compass needle.
