The incidence of sensory-responsive neurons (i.e., unimodal and multisensory) in the deep SC increases with increasing postnatal age. Shown are representative histological reconstructions of coronal sections through the SC mapping the location of unimodal and multisensory neurons in individual animals at six developmental stages.Vertical lines on each section represent electrode penetrations, and the location of each recorded sensory-responsive neuron is depicted with a circle (open circles = unimodal neurons; closed circles = multisensory neurons; V, visual;A, auditory; S, somatosensory;VA, visual–auditory, etc.). Scale bar, 1 mm.SGS, Stratum griseum superficiale; SO, stratum opticum; SGI, stratum griseum intermediale;SAI, stratum album intermediale; SGP, stratum griseum profundum; SAP, stratum album profundum,PAG, periaqueductal gray.
