Neural Basis
Very little is known about the neural basis of this form of synesthesia, but one possibility is that OLP arises from cross-talk in the region of the inferior parietal lobule between regions of the angular gyrus involved with representing ordinal sequences, and adjacent regions involved with the identification of personality and theory of mind near the supramarginal gyrus (Simner & Hubbard 2006). Alternatively, this form of synesthesia may arise from cross-talk in the region called the “retrosplenial cortex”.
