    Summary:
    Desert ants find their way during an early learning phase with the help of the Earth's magnetic field.
    The associated learning process leaves clear traces in their nervous system.

    I think I have the same thing...

    You get lost too when the magnetic field is changed?

    Earth magnetic field is changing only very slowly so not important.
    Maybe a big magnet on the head (as a change from tin foil) or
    dynamic earplugs with magnets in it... would have some effect (did not wear any in the wild)
    Now you will 4shure stand_\-under the importance of crystal earphones.
