This animal study reports that Drosophila melanogaster larvae can sense electric fields and exhibit robust electrotaxis toward the cathode in controlled environments. The authors identify head-tip sensory neurons required for this behavior and report calcium-imaging evidence that Gr66a-positive neurons encode field…

This study reports the identification of an electromagnetic perceptive gene (EPG) from glass catfish and its expression in mammalian cells, neuronal cultures, and rat brain. The authors report that magnetic/EMF stimulation remotely increased intracellular calcium in EPG-expressing cells and neurons. They also report…
