Term Name: detection of light stimulus involved in magnetoreception
Synonyms: magnetoreception, detection of light stimulus, magnetoreception, sensory detection of light stimulus, magnetoreception, sensory transduction of light stimulus, sensory detection of light stimulus during magnetoreception, sensory transduction of light stimulus during magnetoreception
Definition: The series of events involved in magnetoception in which a light stimulus is received and converted into a molecular signal. Downstream processing of the light information in addition to other sensory data allows organisms to perceive the orientation of a magnetic field.
