[HTML][HTML] The neural representation of sequences: from transition probabilities to algebraic patterns and linguistic trees
A sequence of images, sounds, or words can be stored at several levels of detail, from
specific items and their timing to abstract structure. We propose a taxonomy of five distinct …

Origins of the brain networks for advanced mathematics in expert mathematicians
The origins of human abilities for mathematics are debated: Some theories suggest that they
are founded upon evolutionarily ancient brain circuits for number and space and others that …

Sensitivity to geometric shape regularity in humans and baboons: A putative signature of human singularity
M Sablé-Meyer, J Fagot, S Caparos… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Among primates, humans are special in their ability to create and manipulate highly
elaborate structures of language, mathematics, and music. Here we show that this sensitivity …

A distinct cortical network for mathematical knowledge in the human brain
How does the brain represent and manipulate abstract mathematical concepts? Recent
evidence suggests that mathematical processing relies on specific brain areas and …

Cortical circuits for mathematical knowledge: evidence for a major subdivision within the brain's semantic networks
Is mathematical language similar to natural language? Are language areas used by
mathematicians when they do mathematics? And does the brain comprise a generic …

Format-dependent representations of symbolic and non-symbolic numbers in the human cortex as revealed by multi-voxel pattern analyses
Neuroimaging studies in the last 20 years have tried to unravel the neural correlates of
number processing across formats in humans and non-human primates. Results point to the …

A new fun and robust version of an fMRI localizer for the frontotemporal language system
ABSTRACT A set of brain regions in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes supports high-
level linguistic processing. These regions can be reliably identified in individual subjects …
