Representative pigeon spinning cell. Cells dissociates were screened with a 10-mT field using magnetoscope A to identify cells with magnetic properties. The spinning cell displayed here was located in the inner ear lagena. The cell initially spins clockwise, and then anticlockwise following a change in the direction of the rotating field.

No evidence for intracellular magnetite in putative vertebrate magnetoreceptors identified by magnetic screening
