Arithmetic in the Child and Adult Brain (2015, background): “In contrast to the PFC, the PPC also shows stronger relation to arithmetic performance (Grabner et al., 2007; Menon, Rivera, White, Eliez, Glover, & Reiss, 2000c).”
Effects of development and enculturation on number representation in the brain (2008, background): “In most fMRI studies of calculation, the activation that is observed in regions in the left temporoparietal cortex, such as the angular and supramarginal gyri, is in fact due to a difference in deactivation relative to baselin”
Differences in Brain Activation between Novices and Experts in Science during a Task Involving a Common Misconception in Electricity. (2014, background): “It is interesting to note that the activation of the left angular gyrus is significantly correlated with mathematical expertise (Grabner et al., 2007).”
Is 2 + 2 = 4? Meta-analyses of brain areas needed for numbers and calculations (2011, background): “Studies on mathematics have reported cerebellar activity (Dehaene et al., 1999; Fehr et al., 2007; Grabner et al., 2007; Kong et al., 2005; Kuo et al., 2008; Piazza et al., 2007; Wood et al., 2008; Zago et al., 2008); however, its contribution was not systematically discussed.”
