Specific brain areas integrate information from multiple sensory modalities
Multiple neuroimaging and neuroanatomical studies confirm that specific brain areas integrate information from various sensory modalities.
The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that specific brain regions (such as secondary somatosensory areas, primary cortices, and corticothalamic networks) are involved in processing and integrating multisensory information. There is no evidence refuting this claim.

Neuroimaging and neuroanatomical studies demonstrate that specific cortical and subcortical regions are involved in higher-order integration of information across multiple senses.

Research challenging the traditional view of sense-specific cortices shows that primary and secondary sensory areas process and integrate multisensory cues such as touch and audition.
