That is a great point. In this study we focused on projections from auditory cortex to visual cortex. VC projections to AC are less prevalent (doi.org/10.1007/s004...). While AC axons encode visual signals (doi.org/10.1038/s415...) the input might be thalamic or from POR.

10/ Our results show topographically organised, stream-specific routing of crossmodal signals. Crossmodal information is selectively routed according to the organising principles of the target area. This structured connectivity enables the spatially coherent integration of multisensory information.
