“…Research has shown that IPS is typically activated when there are increased demands on working memory (Jonides et al, 1997(Jonides et al, , 1998Klingberg et al, 1997;Kong et al, 2005). Backward recitation of either numbers or the alphabet is more difficult than forward recitation as shown by the behavioral data in our study.…”

“…This result was similar to other studies on brain activation during calculation (Kong et al 2005;Menon et al 2000). According to Stoodley & Schmahmann (2009), the cerebellum is activated by tasks that target language, spatial processing, working memory, attention and executive function.…”

gyrus (L-MFG), right superior frontal gyrus (R-SFG), right superior orbital gyrus (R-SOG) and bilateral insula were more active in quiet as compared to in noise while the left middle cingulate cortex (L-MCC), left amygdala (L-AMG), right temporal pole (R-TP) and left cerebellum (L-CER) were more active in noise as compared to in quiet. The t value for most of the activated regions was found to be inversely proportional to the neural effi cacy. Signifi cant (p < 0.05) negative relationship between t value and neural effi cacy were found for R-STG and bilateral cerebellum during AIQ

“…may have been due to the differential need for some general-purpose cognitive functions such as working memory (Arsalidou and Taylor, 2011;Christoff and Gabrieli, 2000;Owen et al, 2005). The activation in the middle frontal gyri was attributed to working memory and procedural complexity (Delazer et al, 2003;Fehr and Herrmann, 2007;Kong et al, 2005;Simon et al, 2002;Zhou et al, 2007). Arsalidou and Taylor's meta-analysis (2011) found that solving calculation tasks elicited ALE (activation likelihood estimation) values in more prefrontal areas than solving number tasks.…”

“…The brain regions around the bilateral intraparietal sulcus are relatively specific to the number-related processes, but the regions for verbal and attentional processes have more general functions. In addition to the parietal cortex, the prefrontal cortex has also been found to be critical for numerical processing (e.g., Arsalidou and Taylor, 2011;Fehr and Herrmann, 2007;Ischebeck et al, 2006;Kong et al, 2005), most likely because it serves the purpose of general information processing, such as the working memory (Arsalidou and Taylor, 2011).…”

Neural correlates of numbers and mathematical terms

Numerical processing has been demonstrated to be subserved typically by the brain regions around the bilateral intraparietal sulcus (IPS). The goal of the current study was to investigate whether the processing of mathematical terms shared the same brain regions with numerical processing. Healthy adult participants performed semantic distance judgment tasks on five types of materials, including geometric terms, algebraic terms, linguistic terms, words for tools and other common objects, and Arabic numbers. Brain activation was measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The results showed that geometric terms had greater activation than algebraic terms, linguistic terms and tool words in the horizontal IPS, but algebraic terms did not have greater activation than linguistic terms and tool words in this region. Arabic numbers showed greater activation than non-number materials (including geometric terms, algebraic terms, linguistic terms and tool words) in the bilateral IPS, right inferior frontal gyrus and bilateral middle frontal gyrus, but the non-number materials showed stronger activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus and left middle temporal gyrus. These results suggest that the brain area for the processing of numbers (the left IPS) seems to be involved in semantic processing of geometric terms, but not that of other mathematical terms such as algebraic terms. Both algebraic and geometric terms share similar brain organization with basic semantic processing in the left temporal and frontal regions.
