Recent studies have shown that the anterior ectosylvian sulcal cortex (AESc) and the rostral suprasylvian sulcal cortex (RSSSc) of the cat play integral roles in behavioral and collicular responses to multisensory stimuli. However, substantially more multisensory superior colliculus (SC) neurons are...
