Evidence for plasticity in magnetic nest-building orientation in laboratory mice
Original language description
Previous studies have shown that mammals exhibit two distinct forms of magnetic behaviour: spontaneous magnetic alignment and learned magnetic compass orientation. However, it remains to be determined whether the type of magnetic response is species specific (i.e. species exhibit either learned magnetic compass responses or spontaneous magnetic orientation). Alternatively, learned and spontaneous magnetic orientation may be context dependent and expressed in the same species under different conditions, e.g. motivational, physiological and/or environmental. Using C57BL/6J laboratory mice, we provide evidence for multiple spatial responses to magnetic cues in the same species. In a series of three similar nest-building experiments in which mice were trained to construct nests in one of four magnetic directions, mice either positioned nests along a fixed northeast-southwest magnetic axis (Series 1), independent of the trained direction, and similar to spontaneous magnetic alignment responses in other ve
