Term Information

Accession: GO:0050958
Name: magnetoreception
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: magnetoception, sensory perception of magnetic field
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The series of events required for an organism to receive a stimulus relating to a magnetic field, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Stimuli may be chemical, mechanical or electrical and interpreting these stimuli allows an organism to determine the orientation of a magnetic field. Magnetoreception also involves the perception of light; birds cannot orient without the presence of short wavelength (blue/green) light. Source: PMID:15886990, Wikipedia:Magnetoception, GOC:ai
