title: Early integration of retinal and extra-retinal information: recent results and hypotheses.
abstract: This review aims at highlighting and discussing some recent neurophysiological and psychological findings and hypotheses about early cortical integration of visual and extra-retinal information which is involved in the stability of visual perception in spite of the change of body orientation and distance to objects and eye movements. Within this framework, the possible role of some cortical and cortico-thalamic loops between earlier and later stages of visual processing is also emphasized. A complete study of multimodal processing is beyond the scope of this review.
