Abstract
Traditionally, systems neuroscience has focused on singular sensory systems operating in near isolation, ignoring the complexity of the brain's inherent ability to integrate multiple sensory modalities in a symphony of signals that creates our perception of the world around us. The Merging of the Senses has been integral in fueling the exponential growth of the multisensory field, though there are still a wealth of discoveries to be made. Here, we highlight the naked mole-rat as an animal model for an understudied body region that may reveal robust multisensory influences: the teeth. We propose neural and behavioral experiments for evaluating the multisensory underpinnings related to the teeth and how a multisensory perspective can be used to assess plasticity following tooth loss.
期刊介绍：
Multisensory Research is an interdisciplinary archival journal covering all aspects of multisensory processing including the control of action, cognition and attention. Research using any approach to increase our understanding of multisensory perceptual, behavioural, neural and computational mechanisms is encouraged. Empirical, neurophysiological, psychophysical, brain imaging, clinical, developmental, mathematical and computational analyses are welcome. Research will also be considered covering multisensory applications such as sensory substitution, crossmodal methods for delivering sensory information or multisensory approaches to robotics and engineering. Short communications and technical notes that draw attention to new developments will be included, as will reviews and commentaries on current issues. Special issues dealing with specific topics will be announced from time to time. Multisensory Research is a continuation of Seeing and Perceiving, and of Spatial Vision.
