Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a mainstay of cognitive neuroscience,
thus facing new challenges due to its widespread application on behaviorally silent areas. In …

Abstract Space, time, and number are fundamental to how we act within and reason about
the world. These three experiential domains are systematically intertwined in behavior …

Activation of the horizontal segment of the intraparietal sulcus (hIPS) has been observed in
various number-processing tasks, whether numbers were conveyed by symbolic numerals …

The history of mathematics provides several examples of the use of fingers to count or
calculate. These observations converge with developmental data showing that fingers play a …

To map the neural substrate of mental function, cognitive neuroimaging relies on controlled
psychological manipulations that engage brain systems associated with specific cognitive …

It has been widely argued that the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is involved in tasks that evoke
representations of numerical magnitude, among other cognitive functions. However, the …

It has been proposed that numerical and temporal information are processed by partially
overlapping magnitude systems. Interactions across different magnitude domains could …

Human children possess the ability to approximate numerical quantity nonverbally from a
young age. Over the course of early childhood, children develop increasingly precise …

Although several parietal areas are known to be involved in number processing, their
possible role in arithmetic operations remains debated. It has been hypothesized that the …

The ability to accurately process numerical magnitudes and solve mental arithmetic is of
highest importance for schooling and professional career. Although impairments in these …
