Written mathematical notation conveys, in a compact visual form, the nested functional
relations among abstract concepts such as operators, numbers or sets. Is the …

How does the brain represent and manipulate abstract mathematical concepts? Recent
evidence suggests that mathematical processing relies on specific brain areas and …

Is mathematical language similar to natural language? Are language areas used by
mathematicians when they do mathematics? And does the brain comprise a generic …

Although significant insights into the neural basis of numerical and mathematical processing
have been made, the neural processes that enable abstract symbols to become numerical …

Functional neuroimaging studies have revealed that parietal brain circuits subserve
arithmetic problem solving and that their recruitment dynamically changes as a function of …

Some authors proposed that exact mental calculation is based on linguistic representations
and relies on the perisylvian language cortices, while the understanding of proximity …

Theory predicts a close structural relation of formal languages with natural languages. Both
share the aspect of an underlying grammar which either generates (hierarchically) …

Numerical processing has been demonstrated to be subserved typically by the brain regions
around the bilateral intraparietal sulcus (IPS). The goal of the current study was to …

The ability to extract numerical information from different representation formats (eg,
equations, tables, or diagrams) is a key component of mathematical competence but little is …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we examined developmental differences in
the functional neuroanatomy underlying symbolic number processing. Twelve adults and 12 …
