BACKGROUND The interdisciplinary field of animal coloration is growing rapidly, spanning
questions about the diverse ways that animals use pigments and structures to generate …

Vision is generally considered the dominant sensory modality; self-contained and
independent of other senses. In this article, we will present recent results that contradict this …

We report a novel multisensory decision task designed to encourage subjects to combine
information across both time and sensory modalities. We presented subjects, humans and …

Abnormal sensory responses are a DSM‐5 symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD),
and research findings demonstrate altered sensory processing in ASD. Beyond difficulties …

The combined use of multisensory signals is often beneficial. Based on neuronal recordings
in the superior colliculus of cats, three basic rules were formulated to describe the …

Cross-modal plasticity is the repurposing of brain regions associated with deprived sensory
inputs to improve the capacity of other sensory modalities. The functional mechanisms of …

The neural integration of closely timed auditory and visual stimuli can offer several
behavioral advantages; however, an overly broad window of temporal integration—a …

Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging studies have shown that intense learning can be
associated with grey matter volume increases in the adult brain. The underlying …

Our perceptual systems continuously process sensory inputs from different modalities and
organize these streams of information such that our subjective representation of the outside …

Stimuli that animals encounter in the natural world are frequently time-varying and activate
multiple sensory systems together. Such stimuli pose a major challenge for the brain …
