1. A Brain For Numbers
This book examines the biological foundations of numerical cognition, summarizing behavioral and neurophysiological research that shows humans and many animals possess an innate ‘number sense’ supported by specialized brain circuits. It describes experiments that identify neurons tuned to numerosity, contrasts approximate, nonverbal number systems with culturally learned symbolic number representations, traces evolutionary and developmental aspects across species and life stages, and discusses implications for education, mathematical learning, and disorders of numerical processing.
