I teach an AP biology class and we were studying the effects of hallucinogens on the nervous system when one of my students brought up this question. I had briefly heard something about it years ago, but I couldn't recall the details. What is the disorder or syndrome by which the person's neurotransmitters are so cross-wired that the person can taste music, see colors of noises or other such non-related sensory perceptions to sensory stimuli?

I have a Dandy Walker cyst. My question is: Is there a relationship between Dandy Walker cysts and OCD symptoms? I was diagnosed at age 13.
