Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “…only begin emerging after birth, that they do not integrate multisensory signals when they emerge, and that their ability to integrate auditory, visual, and tactile localization cues depends on the specific spatial alignment of these cues early in life (Wallace & Stein, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2007).”
Development of multisensory spatial integration and perception in humans. (2006, background): “It has been suggested that the projections from cortical association areas to the superior colliculus develop postnatally and may be the final stage necessary for multisensory integration to occur (Wallace & Stein, 2000).”
Plasticity of multisensory dorsal stream functions: Evidence from congenitally blind and sighted adults (2010, background): “It has been shown that multisensory neurons and multisensory integration in a number of brainstem and cortical sites of the cat and monkey develop comparatively late in ontogeny and thus require a considerable period of postnatal maturation (Wallace and Stein, 2000; Wallace et al., 2006).”
The Development of Cortical Multisensory Integration (2006, background): “This process appears only gradually during postnatal life and requires the functional maturation of corticotectal inputs, particularly those from the anterior ectosylvian sulcus (AES) (Wallace et al., 1992; Wallace and Stein, 2000) (see also Wallace et al., 1993; Jiang et al., 2001; Stein, 2005).”
Detection of Audio-Visual Integration Sites in Humans by Application of Electrophysiological Criteria to the BOLD Effect (2001, background): “For example, temporary paralysis of the anterior ectosylvian fissure and rostral lateral sulcus by cryogenic deactivation eliminates the characteristic crossmodal response enhancement in multi-sensory integration cells in the colliculus (Wallace and Stein, 2000).”
