Interplay between primary cortical areas and crossmodal plasticity
Abstract : Perceptual representations are built through multisensory interactions underpinned
by dense anatomical and functional neural networks that interconnect primary and
associative cortical areas. There is compelling evidence that primary sensory cortical
areas do not work in segregation, but play a role in early processes of multisensory
integration. In this chapter, we firstly review previous and recent literature showing
how multimodal interactions between primary cortices may contribute to refining
perceptual representations. Secondly, we discuss findings providing evidence that,
following peripheral damage to a sensory system, multimodal integration may promote
sensory substitution in deprived cortical areas and favor compensatory plasticity in the
spared sensory cortices.
