Multisensory integration mechanisms during aging
The rapid demographical shift occurring in our society implies that understanding of healthy aging and age-related diseases is one of our major future challenges. Sensory impairments have an enormous impact on our lives and are closely linked to cognitive functioning. Due to the inherent complexity of sensory perceptions, we are commonly presented with a complex multisensory stimulation and the...
متن کاملMultisensory integration, sensory substitution and visual rehabilitation.
Sensory substitution has advanced remarkably over the past 35 years since first introduced to the scientific literature by Paul Bach-y-Rita. In this issue dedicated to his memory, we describe a collection of reviews that assess the current state of neuroscience research on sensory substitution, visual rehabilitation, and multisensory processes.
متن کاملVisual dominance and multisensory integration changes with age
Objects comprise of visual and auditory signatures that arrive through distinct sensory channels. Exposure to cross-modal events sets up expectations about what a given object most likely "sounds" like, and vice versa, thereby facilitating detection and recognition. Whereas episodic and working memory functions decline with age, the extent to which multisensory integration processes change with...
متن کاملEffects of Aging in Multisensory Integration: A Systematic Review
Multisensory integration (MSI) is the integration by the brain of environmental information acquired through more than one sense. Accurate MSI has been shown to be a key component of successful aging and to be crucial for processes underlying activities of daily living (ADLs). Problems in MSI could prevent older adults (OA) to age in place and live independently. However, there is a need to kno...
متن کاملDevelopment of Multisensory Integration: Transforming Sensory Input into Motor Output
By pooling and integrating signals from different sensory channels, specialized populations of ‘‘multisensory’’ neurons not only help to maximize the brain’s ability to detect and identify external events, but also help to initiate reactions to them. Although multisensory neurons are found in many areas of the brain, those in the midbrain (i.e., superior colliculus, SC) have been studied most e...
