Touching sounds: thalamocortical plasticity and the neural basis of multisensory integration.
@article{Naumer2009TouchingST, title={Touching sounds: thalamocortical plasticity and the neural basis of multisensory integration.}, author={M. Naumer and Jasper J. F. van den Bosch}, journal={Journal of neurophysiology}, year={2009}, volume={102 1}, pages={ 7-8 } }
To date, noninvasive neuroimaging research on multisensory perception has focused on cortical activations. In a series of elegant functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments, Beauchamp and Ro recently investigated altered cortical activations associated with acquired sound-touch synesthesia resulting from a thalamic lesion. Their findings highlight the important role of intact thalamocortical projections for preventing illusory crossmodal perception and for underlying reliable… Expand
