Topic: multisensory representations

The brain continuously receives a wealth of sensory information, and uses this information to guide behaviour. However, the process by which different sensory streams are integrated to form a unified percept remains poorly understood. Cortical regions dedicated to a specific sensory modality nonetheless receive input related to other modalities. The mouse auditory cortex sends numerous projections to the primary visual cortex and surrounding higher visual areas. These inputs may be crucial to the integration and binding of auditory and visual signals. Yet the exact nature of the auditory infor
