Researchers have discovered a group of 53 cells in the brains of pigeons that responds to the direction and strength of the magnetic field of the Earth.
Question of how to move with the birds - among other signs - magnetic fields are the subject of much debate.
These new neurons "GPS" seems to show how magnetic information is represented in the brain of birds.
