'Math neurons' identified in the brain

Posted: 14 Feb 2022 09:12 AM PST

The brain has neurons that fire specifically during certain mathematical operations. The findings indicate that some of the neurons detected are active exclusively during additions, while others are active during subtractions. They respond in the same manner whether the calculation instruction is written down as a word or a symbol.
