Heterogeneity in the spatial receptive field architecture of multisensory neurons of the superior colliculus and its effects on multisensory integration

Highlights • The spatial receptive field of overt and modulatory multisensory neurons in SC is characterized. • The complex SRF architecture plays a vital role in dictating a resultant multisensory interaction. • Response effectiveness appears to be a primary determinant for multisensory interaction...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The spatial receptive field of overt and modulatory multisensory neurons in SC is characterized. • The complex SRF architecture plays a vital role in dictating a resultant multisensory interaction. • Response effectiveness appears to be a primary determinant for multisensory interactions. • Integrative profile differs between overt and modulatory neurons.
