title: Signal Integration in Thalamus: Labeled Lines Go Cross-Eyed and Blurry.
abstract: The brain uses sensory information from the periphery to create percepts. In this issue of Neuron, Rompani et al. (2017) show that visual signals are combined in unexpected ways that vastly expand the possible representations of the outside world.
