Decentralized Multisensory Information Integration in Neural Systems.
UNLABELLED How multiple sensory cues are integrated in neural circuitry remains a challenge. The common hypothesis is that information integration might be accomplished in a dedicated multisensory integration area receiving feedforward inputs from the modalities. However, recent experimental evidence suggests that it is not a single multisensory brain area, but rather many multisensory brain ar...
متن کاملA Symmetric Approach Elucidates Multisensory Information Integration
Recent advances in neuronal multisensory integration suggest that the five senses do not exist in isolation of each other. Perception, cognition and action are integrated at very early levels of central processing, in a densely-coupled system equipped with multisensory interactions occurring at all temporal and spatial stages. In such a novel framework, a concept from the far-flung branch of to...
متن کاملCortex mediates multisensory but not unisensory integration in superior colliculus.
Converging cortical influences from the anterior ectosylvian sulcus and the rostral lateral suprasylvian sulcus were shown to have a multisensory-specific role in the integration of sensory information in superior colliculus (SC) neurons. These observations were based on changes induced by cryogenic deactivation of these cortico-SC projections. Thus, although the results indicated that they pla...
متن کاملVisuomotor robustness is based on integration not segregation
How can we explain, that DF - a patient with a damaged ventral stream - can act normally in many everyday tasks despite her profound perceptual disability. The classical answer is that perception and action are based on separate visual streams. Here, I will explain why this view is problematic and offer an alternative answer. Specifically, I will argue that the preserved performance of DF shoul...
متن کاملImpact of response duration on multisensory integration.
Multisensory neurons in the superior colliculus (SC) have been shown to have large receptive fields that are heterogeneous in nature. These neurons have the capacity to integrate their different sensory inputs, a process that has been shown to depend on the physical characteristics of the stimuli that are combined (i.e., spatial and temporal relationship and relative effectiveness). Recent work...
