increased structural connectivity in grapheme-color synesthesia - projector

Diffusion tensor imaging allows us to verify for the first time the hypothesis that hyperconnectivity leads to increased sensation in the sense of joint. Grapheme-
Color Association (n = 18)
Someone who experiences a specific color with a specific letter or number (
For example, "r is sky blue ")
Compared with the matched controls, a larger diffusion of the opposite sex was shown.
The greater the diffusion of the opposite sex, the more coherent the white matter.
The heterogeneity further distinguishes the subtypes of graphene
Color sense.
For those who see the color of the sensation in the external world, the greater connectivity of the lower cortex is particularly strong ('projectors')
Compared with those who only see the color in their "mind's eye ('associators').
In contrast, greater connectivity (
Not. synesthetes)
In the anterior lobe or frontal cortex, there is no difference between the subtypes of the joint perception.
In conclusion, we find evidence that an increase in structural connectivity is associated with the presence of graphene
Color color association has a role in the subjective nature of the color experience.
