The use of metaphorical concepts is not unique to humans.

Teaching a tactile alphabet to sighted adults reveals the brain’s unexpected potential for change.

Honeybees determine their flight speed by combining feedback from optic flow and airflow.

During development, the Xenopus brain improves its ability to discern specific time intervals between sensory inputs of different modalities via the maturation of inhibitory circuits.

Building on previous work (Felch et al., 2016), it is shown that inverse effectiveness, a central property of multisensory integration, in the optic tectum is mediated by the activation of NMDA-type glutamate receptors, resulting in a response greater than the sum of responses to each individual sensory modality.

Computational modeling of behavioral and neural data from monkeys points towards a flat decision-making process in which the brain considers all possible final outcomes simultaneously.

Electrophysiological activity indicates superior implicit crossmodal learning in infants and a change in learning mode from infancy to adulthood.

Blind people re-purpose the brain's visual areas for tracking speech rhythm.

A parallel neuronal network architecture ensures control of basic feeding reflex circuits via integration of crossmodal sensory information to filter multiple biological events and enhance meaningful behavioral choice.

A combined behavioural and electroencephalographic approach investigating the covert allocation of attention shows evidence for distributed periodic sampling away from a conscious visual image.
