title: Aligning maps of visual and auditory space. Sensory maps.
abstract: Visual and auditory space are represented topographically in the superior colliculus in the midbrain. Recent experiments show that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play an important role in aligning auditory and visual maps during development.
