Answer:
B) Synesthesia
Explanation:
Synesthesia is a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color. It may be caused by unusual cases of cross-talk between normally separated brain regions. Synesthesia alters connectivity in temporo-occipital and parietal areas. A brain imaging studies that implicated an area of the cortex called the TPO, lying at the junction of the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes is likely caused by a condition known a synesthesia.
Answer:
Synesthesia
Explanation:
Brain imaging is a relatively new discipline and a breakthrough technology within medicine, neuroscience and psychology used for cognitive neuroscience, behavioral conditioning, and brain science. It involves different techniques(PET,MRI,CT, MRS,MRSI, MEG etc) for image the structure, function, or pharmacology of the nervous system and brain.
Brain imaging studies have implicated an area of the cortex called the TPO, lying at the junction of the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes, which may be the cause of a condition called Synesthesia
Wikipedia describe Synesthesia as a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway i.e crossing of senses.For instance, people with synesthesia may see sounds, tastes word or probably feel a sensation on their skin when they smell certain scents.
Synesthesia forms as either grapheme-color (where letters or numbers are perceived as inherently colred) or number form synethesia
Little is known about how synesthesia develop but through brain imaging studies, it has been implicated that an area of the cortex called the TPO which lies at the junction of the temporal,parietal, and occipital lobes causes synesthesia.
