Discussion

Functional imaging reveals separate cortical networks for visual and vestibular inputs during egomotion in macaques, indicating targeted convergence.

Two distinct cortical networks process visual and vestibular inputs during egomotion, optimizing navigational control.
The vestibular network includes areas like the insular cortex and frontal lobe, activating independently from visual pathways.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to analyze cortical activation in response to vestibular and visual stimuli.
This targeted convergence suggests multisensory integration is achieved through focused interactions in specific cortical regions.

Marchand et al. (2025) studied this question.
