People with the rare condition called "synesthesia" not
only taste colors, but see words and feel flavors. Each
person is unique in how they perceive the world; some smell
colors or taste shapes, while others associate colors with
sound, perceiving each note as a different hue. The
condition has been linked to less blood flow to those parts
of the brain that receive sensory stimulation.

The ancient Greek physicians maintained that the balance of
the humors, controlled a person's temperament. The blood
(sanguis), made a person cheerful; phlegm (pituita), meant
slow moving; Yellow bile (chole), made one hot tempered;
black bile (melanchole), caused depression. If any of the
four humors were out of balance, it reflected on the body
and mind as a whole.
***
After being shot in the abdomen, Alexis St. Martin was
treated, but the hole did not heal or close. To keep the
contents from oozing out, the wound had to be stuffed with
a cotton cloth. He allowed his surgeon, William Beaumont,
to do experiments using samples of his stomach contents.
The experiments helped in identifying the stomach acid
(hydrochloric acid), and to study the stomach's movements.
