Recent studies have found that brain regions previously thought to only process a specific type of sensory stimuli, such as the visual cortex, can also be affected by other sensory stimuli. This might ...

Primary sensory cortices respond to crossmodal stimuli—for example, auditory responses are found in primary visual cortex (V1). However, it remains unclear whether these responses reflect sensory ...

A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded ...

In humans, input from one sensory modality can influence processing in another, enriching perception and understanding. One notable case is how visual inputs recruit somatosensation, our sense of ...
