“…Visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory inputs are each processed by their respective regions of unimodal sensory cortex (Lyons, Sanabria, Vatakis, & Spence, 2006;Macaluso & Driver, 2005;Martin, 1991 ;Squire & Kandel, 1999). As discussed in detail below, these sensory representations are, then, combined as a result of the mediation of the thalamus and the thalamo-cortical neuronal network circuitry (Llinas, Grace, & Yarom, 1991;Llinas & Ribary, 2001;Singer, 1993;Steriade, Jones, & Llinas, 1990).…”
