The Origins of Human Complex Arithmetic Abilities: Involvement of Evolutionarily Ancient Brain Circuits

2021-09-02

Abstract excerpt

Humans exhibit complex arithmetic skills, often attributed to the exceptional enlargement of neocortical regions during evolution. However, the past decade has provided ample evidence that the functional domain of the subcortex extend well beyond basic functions. Using a sensitive behavioral method, for the first time, we explored the contributions of lower-order visual monocular channels to symbolic arithmetic op...
