The integration of sensory inputs from different senses is a crucial aspect of sensory perception and behavioral decisions. Whether such multisensory integration occurs at specific stages of neural processing remains unclear. Two brain regions, the anterolateral motor cortex (ALM) and the superior colliculus (SC) are important parts of a cortico-subcortical loop that transforms multisensory inputs into behavioral decisions. To study the role of these areas in multisensory integration and decision-making, we trained mice in a multisensory discrimination task, where animals had to integrate visu
