摘要: The electrical activity of about 30% a homing pigeon’s pineal cells can be altered by changing the horizontal or vertical component natural magnetic field, using two pairs Helmholtz coils. respond to rapid and/or gradual change in field with either excitation inhibition. In some sensitive responses changes could not repeated.
