Title: | Photoreceptor-based magnetoreception: optimal design of receptor molecules, cells, and neuronal processing | Contributor(s): | Ritz, Thorsten (author); Ahmad, Margaret (author); Mouritsen, Henrik (author); Wiltschko, Roswitha (author); Wiltschko, Wolfgang (author) | Publication Date: | 2010 | DOI: | 10.1098/rsif.2009.0456.focus | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/15967 | Abstract: | The sensory basis of magnetoreception in animals still remains a mystery.One hypothesis of magnetoreception is that photochemical radical pair reactions can transduce magnetic information in specialized photoreceptor cells, possibly involving the photoreceptor molecule cryptochrome. This hypothesis triggered a considerable amount of research in the past decade. Here, we present an updated picture of the radical-pair photoreceptor hypothesis. In our review, we will focus on insights that can assist biologists in their search for the elusive magnetoreceptors. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of the Royal Society.
