Light Alters Nociceptive Effects Of Magnetic Field Shielding In Mice: Intensity And Wavelength Considerations

A sixth sense, magnetoreception, has been demonstrated in animals from insects and snails to birds and rodents by two diverse groups of researchers. One group has been investigating the effects of magnetic fields on animal orientation and the other on perception of pain. Here we build a case for a single transduction mechanism to explain these different effects.
