IN SEARCH FOR THE AVIAN TRIGEMINAL MAGNETIC SENSOR: DISTRIBUTION OF PERIPHERAL AND CENTRAL TERMINALS OF OPHTHALMIC SENSORY NEURONS IN THE NIGHT-MIGRATORY EURASIAN BLACKCAP (SYLVIA ATRICAPILLA)

In Search for the Avian Trigeminal Magnetic Sensor: Distribution of Peripheral and Central Terminals of Ophthalmic Sensory Neurons in the Night-Migratory Eurasian Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

In night-migratory songbirds, neurobiological and behavioral evidence suggest the existence of a magnetic sense associated with the ophthalmic branch Makeup of the trigeminal nerve (V1), possibly providing magnetic positional information.Curiously, neither the unequivocal existence, structural nature, nor the exact location of any sensory structure

Total SciComm: A Strategy for Communicating Open Science

This paper seeks to introduce a strategy of science communication: Total SciComm or IMMUNOCARE all-out science communication.We proposed that to maximize the outreach and impact, scientists should use different media to communicate different aspects of science, from core ideas to methods.The paper uses an example of a debate surrounding a now-retra
