Specialization within the ventral stream: the case for the visual word form area (2004, background): “…alexia dates back to Dejerine's observation, as he noted that ''the patient recognizes very well all digits'', although ''he cannot recognize a single letter'' (Cohen and Dehaene, 1995; Dejerine, 1892; Holender and Peereman, 1987; for imaging data, see also Pinel et al., 2001; Polk et al., 2002).”
Low numeracy and dyscalculia: identification and intervention (2010, background): “In number comparison tasks, the smaller the distance the greater the activation, whether stimuli are digits or dots (Pinel et al., 2001; Tang et al., 2006).”
Arithmetic and the brain. (2004, neutral): “In the simplest experiments, which involve number detection or comparison rather than more complex calculation, the HIPS is sometimes the only region specifically engaged [12 ,13,14].”
Speed-accuracy tradeoffs in animal decision making. (2009, background): “Doubtless there are other biological processes where such tradeoffs are relevant (Box 1), such as studies of animal counting [ 6 ], the precision of motor skills [70], aggressive encounters or predator hunting.”
Neuroscience and education: from research to practice? (2006, background): “Activity in the HIPS is modulated by the semantic distance between numbers and by the size of number”
A magnitude code common to numerosities and number symbols in human intraparietal cortex. (2007, background): “Imaging studies also tend to show right-lateralized parietal activation in tasks that involve comparisons and left lateralized activation when retrieving of exact arithmetical facts (Chochon et al., 1999; Dehaene, 1996; Pinel et al., 2001; Rickard et al., 2000).”
A validation of eye movements as a measure of elementary school children's developing number sense (2008, background): “The “mental number line” is regarded as the core neurocognitive system underlying number sense (Fias, Lammertyn, Reynvoet, Dupont, & Orban, 2003; Hubbard, Piazza, Pinel, & Dehaene, 2005; Pinel, Dehaene, Riviere, & LeBihan, 2001 ), which in turn underlies a variety of”
Tuning curves for approximate numerosity in the human intraparietal sulcus. (2004, background): “…(hIPS) site common to many arithmetic tasks (Dehaene et al., 2003 ), including number comparison (Naccache and Dehaene, 2001; Pesenti et al., 2000; Pinel et al., 2001, 2004), The depth of the intraparietal sulcus where numbertraction (Lee, 2000; Simon et al., 2002), approximation related…”
Cultural recycling of cortical maps. (2007, neutral): “Intraparietal activation was observed during a great variety of numberrelated tasks, including calculation but also larger-smaller comparison (Pinel et al., 2001) or even the mere detection of a digit among colors and letters (Eger et al., 2003).”
Representation of number in the brain. (2009, background): “More specifically, the banks of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) are consistently activated whenever adults compute simple comparison, addition, subtraction, or multiplication with Arabic numerals (Chochon et al. 1999, Pinel et al. 2001).”
THREE PARIETAL CIRCUITS FOR NUMBER PROCESSING (2003, methodology): “It is active during number comparison (Pesenti et al., 2000; Pinel et al., 2001), approximation (Dehaene et al., 1999), subtraction of two digits (Lee, 2000), and counting (Piazza et al., 2002a).”
Age-related Changes in the Activation of the Intraparietal Sulcus during Nonsymbolic Magnitude Processing: An Event-related Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study (2006, background): “Pinel and colleagues were able to demonstrate that the amount of activation in bilateral regions of the IPS decreased with increasing numerical distance ( Pinel, Dehaene, Riviere, & LeBihan, 2001; Pinel et al., 1999).,Furthermore, functional neuroimaging studies have implicated the left IPS in calc”
Topographical layout of hand, eye, calculation, and language-related areas in the human parietal lobe. (2002, background): “tion tasks, the intraparietal region coactivates together with the bilateral superior parietal lobule and precuneus Procedure (Dehaene et al., 1999; Pinel et al., 2001; Stanescu-Cos- Cerebral activation was studied in each six conditions: subtraction, son et al., 2000) at sites coincident with those”
Common and distinct neural substrates of attentional control in an integrated Simon and spatial Stroop task as assessed by event-related fMRI (2004, background): “Most studies consisting of a visual-spatial or visual-motor component activate the precuneus (Berman et al., 1999; Luna et al., 1998; Petit and Haxby, 1999; Sakai et al., 1998), as do tasks involving verbal and semantic processing (Pinel et al., 2001).”
