Converging influences from visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortices onto output neurons of the superior colliculus.
TLDR
While it is likely that these three distinct multisensory neural circuits have different functional roles, their constituent neurons appear to integrate their various sensory inputs in much the same way.Abstract:
1. Physiological methods were used to examine the pattern of inputs from different sensory cortices onto individual superior colliculus neurons. 2. Visual, auditory, and somatosensory influences fr...read more

Multisensory integration: current issues from the perspective of the single neuron.
TL;DR: Understanding the acquisition and usage of multisensory integration in the midbrain and cerebral cortex of mammals has been aided by a multiplicity of approaches and some of the challenging questions that remain are examined.

Auditory-Visual Integration during Multimodal Object Recognition in Humans: A Behavioral and Electrophysiological Study
Marie-Hélène Giard,F Peronnet +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that multisensory integration is mediated by flexible, highly adaptive physiological processes that can take place very early in the sensory processing chain and operate in both sensory-specific and nonspecific cortical structures in different ways.

Crossmodal Processing in the Human Brain: Insights from Functional Neuroimaging Studies
TL;DR: The potential value of using statistical interaction effects to model electrophysiological responses to crossmodal stimuli in order to identify possible sites of multisensory integration in the human brain is highlighted.

The mammalian superior colliculus: laminar structure and connections.
TL;DR: This review will concentrate on sensory and motor inputs to the superior colliculus, on its internal circuitry, and on its connections with other brainstem gaze centers, as well as its extensive outputs to those structures with which it is reciprocally connected.

TL;DR: Both the topography and timing of these interactions are consistent with multisensory integration early in the cortical processing hierarchy, in brain regions traditionally held to be un isensory.
