Abstract:Recent evidence suggests that primary sensory cortical regions play a role in the integration of information from multiple sensory modalities. How primary cortical neurons integrate multisensory information is unclear, partly because multisensory interactions in the cortex are typically weak or modulatory. To address this question, we take advantage of the robust representation of thermal (cooling) and tactile stimuli in mouse forepaw primary somatosensory cortex (fS1). Using a thermotactile detection task, we… Show more
