Auditory input enhances somatosensory encoding and tactile goal-directed behavior

Auditory input enhances somatosensory encoding and tactile goal-directed behavior

Multi-sensory input can lead to dendritic integration at the single neuron level. Here the authors show that combined auditory and somatosensory input increases distal dendritic and somatic activity in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of the primary somatosensory cortex and decreases response latency dur...
