A cellular mechanism for inverse effectiveness in multisensory integration.

To build a coherent view of the external world, an organism needs to integrate multiple types of sensory information from different sources, a process known as multisensory integration (MSI). Previously, we showed that the temporal dependence of MSI in the optic tectum of tadpoles is mediated by the network dynamics of the recruitment of local inhibition by sensory input (Felch et al., 2016).
