Abstract: Homing pigeons have remarkable navigational
skills that allow them to
fi nd their way back to the loft when
released from an unfamiliar location hundreds
of miles away. To perform such a feat,
they rely on various cues, such as odors and
Earth’s magnetic fi eld ( 1, 2). Yet, how birds
and other animals obtain magnetic-fi eld information
has been a mystery. On page 1054 of
this issue, Wu and Dickman ( 3) report how
this information is neurally encoded and suggest
a candidate magnetic sensory organ in
the inner ear of the pigeon ( 4).

Abstract: Environmental exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) has been implicated in the development of cancer in humans. An important basis for assessing a potential cancer risk due to ELF-EMF exposure is knowledge of biological effects on human cells at the chromosomal level. Therefore, we investigated in the present study the effect of intermittent ELF electromagnetic fields (50 Hz, sinusoidal, 5'field-on/10'field-off, 2-24 h, 1 mT) on the induction of micronuclei (MN) and chromosomal aberrations in cultured human fibroblasts. ELF-EMF radiation resulted in a time-dependent increase of micronuclei, which became significant after 10 h of intermittent exposure at a flux density of 1 mT. After approximately 15 h a constant level of micronuclei of about three times the basal level was reached. In addition, chromosomal aberrations were increased up to 10-fold above basal levels. Our data strongly indicate a clastogenic potential of intermittent low-frequency electromagnetic fields, which may lead to considerable chromosomal damage in dividing cells.
