In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

The prefrontal cortex participates in a variety of higher cognitive functions. The concept of
working memory is now widely used to understand prefrontal functions. Neurophysiological …

A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

Our understanding of how the human brain performs mathematical calculations is far from
complete, but in recent years there have been many exciting breakthroughs by scientists all …

Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a
dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network,'number …

Human neuroimaging research has transitioned from map** local effects to develo**
predictive models of mental events that integrate information distributed across multiple …

Numerosity, the set size of a group of items, is processed by the association cortex, but
certain aspects mirror the properties of primary senses. Sensory cortices contain …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

Part of human cortex is specialized for cultural domains such as reading and arithmetic,
whose invention is too recent to have influenced the evolution of our species …
