尽管早期的感觉皮层是沿着受体器官编码的维度组织的，但对整合不同方式的较高区域的组织知之甚少。我们使用并联成像中的最新进展研究了人类上级颞上沟中的多感官整合，以非常高分辨率进行功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）。这些研究表明了一个功能架构，其中来自不同模态的信息通过输入的零散分布使来自不同模式的信息紧密接近，然后在中间的皮质中进行整合。
Although early sensory cortex is organized along dimensions encoded by receptor organs, little is known about the organization of higher areas in which different modalities are integrated. We investigated multisensory integration in human superior temporal sulcus using recent advances in parallel imaging to perform functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at very high resolution. These studies suggest a functional architecture in which information from different modalities is brought into close proximity via a patchy distribution of inputs, followed by integration in the intervening cortex.
