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 this condition:

D) synosthesia
E) sensorithesia

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The condition described in the question is synesthesia, which is a neurological condition where stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in another sensory pathway. Brain imaging studies have linked this condition to the TPO area, which is located at the junction of the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. Therefore, choice B, synesthesia, is the best option. The other choices are unrelated or do not exist as medical conditions.
