Conscientious Mammalian Magnetoreception Capabilities by Means of the Cryptochrome-2 Protein Megan Weil, 2nd year |
Abstract
Changes in Earth’s magnetic field are known to influence the behavior of organisms from all five kingdoms of life. In mice, the cryptochrome-2 repressor is the recognized protein responsible for their magnetoreception capabilities. The extent of the receptor’s influence is unknown, and whether its associated responses are due to subconscious instinct or conscious choice.
