'shows no interest' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with perception as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'mysterious regions' is the wordplay.
'mysterious' is an anagram indicator.
'regions' with letters rearranged gives 'IGNORES'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ignores that I've seen before include "Snubs" , "Shrugs off" , "Cold shoulders" , "Runs away from" , "Pays no attention to" .)
