Multisensory neurons in the cat SC and AES mature over the first four to five months of postnatal life. Graph plots the incidence of multisensory neurons as a percentage of the total neuronal populations in the SC and AES as a function of postnatal age. Note for both structures the absence of multisensory neurons immediately after birth and the gradual rise in their incidence with time. Note also the delay in cortical multisensory maturation as opposed to subcortical maturation. Data adapted from Wallace and Stein, 1997, and Wallace et al, 2006.
