Neural Integration of Audiovisual Sensory Inputs in Macaque Amygdala and Adjacent Regions

Integrating multisensory inputs to generate accurate perception and guide behavior is among the most critical functions of the brain.Subcortical regions such as the amygdala are involved in sensory processing including vision and audition,yet their roles in multisensory integra-tion remain unclear.In this study,we systematically investi-gated the function of neurons in the amygdala and adjacent regions in integrating audiovisual sensory inputs using a semi-chronic multi-electrode array and multiple combina-tions of audiovisual stimuli.From a sample of 332 neurons,we showed the diverse response patterns to audiovisual stimuli and the neural characteristics of bimodal over uni-modal modulation,which could be classified into four types with differentiated regional origins.Using the hierarchical clustering method,neurons were further clustered into five groups and associated with different integrating functions and sub-regions.Finally,regions distinguishing congruent and incongruent bimodal sensory inputs were identified.Overall,visual processing dominates audiovisual integration in the amygdala and adjacent regions.Our findings shed new light on the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration in the primate brain.
