The human brain possesses neural networks and mechanisms enabling the representation
of numbers, basic arithmetic operations, and mathematical reasoning. Without the ability to …

According to the traditional memory-systems view, the hippocampus is critical during explicit
(conscious) long-term memory, whereas other brain regions support implicit (nonconscious) …

Arithmetic is a cornerstone of scientifically and technologically advanced human culture, but
its neuronal mechanisms are poorly understood. Calculating with numbers requires …

Foundational mathematical abilities, acquired in early childhood, are essential for success in
our technology-driven society. Yet, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying individual …

We review the evidence for the conceptual association between arithmetic and space and
quantify the effect size in meta-analyses. We focus on three effects:(a) the operational …

In an experiment, 98 children aged 8 to 9, 10 to 12, and 13 to 15 years solved addition
problems with a sum up to 10. In another experiment, the same children solved the same …

Mental arithmetic involves distributed brain regions spanning parietal and temporal cortices,
yet little is known about the neural dynamics of causal functional circuits that link them. Here …

In the domain of cognitive arithmetic, the size effect corresponds to an increase in solution
times as a function of the size of the operands involved in the problems. In this study, we …

Adults shift their attention to the right or to the left along a spatial continuum when solving
additions and subtractions, respectively. Studies suggest that these shifts not only support …

Arithmetic reasoning activates the occipital cortex of congenitally blind people (CB). This
activation of visual areas may highlight the functional flexibility of occipital regions deprived …
