Cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills

The paper uses MEG and MVPA to show that magnitude is represented similarly across different numerical formats like digits and dice, with temporal differences in access.

This paper proposes a random-matrix theory to explain the emergence of number sense in the brain without learning, linking neural activity patterns to numerical representations.

This study shows that math anxiety triggers rapid emotional and attentional avoidance responses to math stimuli, as seen in fMRI scans of amygdala activity and attentional disengagement.

The paper identifies six topographic numerosity maps in human association cortex using fMRI and neural modeling, suggesting a broad role for quantity processing in cognitive functions.
