Representation of number in the brain. (2009, background): “By contrast, all studies that required the monkeys to use cardinal numerical information explicitly found a labeled-line code, irrespective of stimulus modality, presentation format, and recording site (Sawamura et al. 2002; Nieder et al. 2002, 2006).”
The Distributed Nature of Working Memory. (2017, background): “Prefrontal areas have also been shown to host memory representations of abstract number information [47,113] in formats that may generalize across sensory modalities [114,115].”
Distributed and overlapping cerebral representations of number, size, and luminance during comparative judgments. (2004, neutral): “of about 1 hr performed both outside and inside the fMRI scanner, cortex (Nieder et al., 2002; Sawamura and Shima, 2002).”
A visual sense of number. (2007, background): “Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of neurons broadly tuned for number in the parietal cortex of macaque monkeys [4, 18, 19].”
Number sense in children with visuospatial disabilities: Orientation of the mental number line (2005, background): “Recent studies show that animals ( Nieder, Freedman, & Miller, 2002; Sawamura, Shima, & Tanji, 2002) and human infants (Wynn, 1996) are able to represent numerosity and to discriminate it from other numerosities.”
Numerical development: current issues and future perspectives (2005, methodology): “…brain areas in magnitude processing (as demonstrated by the identification of neurons that are sensitive to symbolic magnitude [numerical quantity; Nieder et al., 2002, Nieder & Miller, 2003] as well as non-symbolic magnitude [time duration; Onoe et al., 2001], the latter notion of a close…”
Cultural recycling of cortical maps. (2007, positive): “Although similar neurons were also found in the prefrontal cortex (Nieder et al., 2002), they responded with a longer latency and showed greater delay-related activity, suggesting that the parietal neurons constitute a primary numerosity code that prefrontal neurons held on-line during the delayed m”
The parietal cortex and the representation of time, space, number and other magnitudes (2009, background): “, neurons responsive to elapsed time or number have been found in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Nieder et al. 2002; Genovesio et al. 2006).”
A magnitude code common to numerosities and number symbols in human intraparietal cortex. (2007, background): “It is possible, however, that beyond parietal cortex, other regions contain populations of neurons that also code for number, as observed in the prefrontal cortex of macaque monkeys (Nieder et al., 2002).”
Arithmetic and the brain. (2004, neutral): “Nieder and Miller [45 ,46 ,47] recorded from both lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) and IPS.”
Multiple components of developmental dyscalculia (2013, background): “[34,35] observed number-selective neurons in the monkey brain.”
Bias and Generalization in Deep Generative Models: An Empirical Study (2018, methodology): “1 Numerosity Experimental Settings We use two different datasets for this experiment: a toy dataset where there are k non-overlapping dots (with random color and location) in the image, as in the numerosity estimation task in cognitive psychology [27, 28], and the CLEVR dataset where there are k obj”
Symbols and quantities in parietal cortex: elements of a mathematical theory of number representation and manipulation (2007, background): “At present, strong evidence exists only for the latter type of cells (Nieder et al., 2002; Nieder and Miller, 2003, 2004).”
