DESCRIPTION:Seung-Hee Lee\, Department of Biological Sciences\, KAIST\, Re
 public of Korea (visiting professor at the BMI)\nSensory perception in the
  real world requires proper integration of different modality inputs. The 
 process of multisensory integration is not uniform. It varies from individ
 ual to individual and changes at different behavioral states of the animal
 . What factors affect the multisensory integration? Here I present our rec
 ent findings on neural circuit mechanisms for modulation of sensory proces
 sing and integration. We found that the posterior parietal cortex receives
  converging inputs from the primary visual and auditory cortices and plays
  a critical role in audio-visual integration in mice. We further found tha
 t circuits in the posterior parietal cortex can be modulated by the locomo
 tion and in turn modifies the multisensory perceptual behaviors in mice. W
 e suggest that the multisensory information is not a simple\, fixed signal
  in the brain. Multisensory processing is dynamically modulated in the mam
 malian brain and leads to unique and subjective experience of perception.\
