Synesthesia is a perceptual condition in which sensory stimulation triggers anomalous sensory experiences. In colored sequence synesthesia (CSS), color experiences are triggered by sequences such as letters or numbers. We performed a family based linkage analysis to identify genetic loci responsible for the increased neural crosstalk underlying CSS. Our results implicate a 23 MB region at 16q12.2-23.1, providing the first step in understanding the molecular basis of CSS.
联觉是一种感知状态，其中感官刺激会引发异常的感官体验。在彩色序列联觉（CSS）中，颜色体验会被字母或数字等序列触发。我们进行了一项基于家族的连锁分析，以确定导致 CSS 背后的神经串扰增加的遗传基因座。我们的结果表明，在 16q12.2-23.1 处存在一个 23MB 的区域，这为理解 CSS 的分子基础迈出了第一步。
