It has recently been demonstrated that the maturation of normal multisensory circuits in the
cortex of the cat takes place over an extended period of postnatal life. Such a finding …

Detecting and locating environmental events are markedly enhanced by the midbrain's
ability to integrate visual and auditory cues. Its capacity for multisensory integration develops …

Although there are many perceptual theories that posit particular maturational profiles in
higher-order (ie, cortical) multisensory regions, our knowledge of multisensory development …

Multisensory integration refers to the process by which the brain synthesizes information
from different senses to enhance sensitivity to external events. In the present experiments …

The development of multisensory neurons and multisensory integration was examined in the
deep layers of the superior colliculus of kittens ranging in age from 3 to 135 d postnatal …

The brain's ability to integrate information from different senses is acquired only after
extensive sensory experience. However, whether early life experience instantiates a general …

The ability to integrate information across multiple senses enhances the brain's ability to
detect, localize, and identify external events. This process has been well documented in …

Development of multisensory integration capabilities in superior colliculus (SC) neurons was
examined in cats whose visual–auditory experience was restricted to a circumscribed period …

The ability to integrate information from different sensory systems is a fundamental
characteristic of the brain. Because different bits of information are derived from different …

Multisensory neurons and their ability to integrate multisensory cues develop gradually in
the midbrain [ie, superior colliculus (SC)]. To examine the possibility that early sensory …
