“…Despite similar overall patterns of neural representational plasticity across the whole brain, including regions typically associated with math learning, our analysis of brain-behavioral relations revealed different patterns of relationship between NRP and learning between the two groups. Results from TD children revealed that training-related gains are accompanied by greater neural plasticity in brain systems associated with memory and quantity representation, instantiated in the MTL and IPS (Arsalidou et al, 2018;Dehaene & Cohen, 1997;Menon, 2015;Wu et al, 2009), as well as lateral occipital and frontal regions, a finding that is broadly consistent with previous reports (Jolles et al, 2016;Rosenberg-Lee et al, 2018;Supekar, Chang, et al, 2021) (Banker et al, 2021;Hogeveen et al, 2020;Schipul et al, 2012;Schumann et al, 2004;Welchew et al, 2005). Moreover, such atypical relations were not observed in the MTL for problems that were not trained in children with ASD, confirming the functional specificity of our observations in training-induced learning.…”
