“…Parietal regions have been implicated in mathematical function across a wide range of populations, including typically developing children (Cantlon et al, 2011; Davis et al, 2009; Rosenberg-Lee, Barth, & Menon, 2011) and children with developmental disorders (Kesler, Menon, & Reiss, 2006; Lebel, Rasmussen, Wyper, Andrew, & Beaulieu, 2010; Meintjes et al, 2010; Price, Holloway, Rasanen, Vesterinen, & Ansari, 2007; Santhanam, Li, Hu, Lynch, & Coles, 2009). Children with FASD have been reported to have thicker cortices (Sowell et al, 2008) and smaller volumes (Archibald et al, 2001) in parietal regions relative to controls, and these abnormalities may be related to their decreased mathematics abilities demonstrated in school and on neuropsychological testing (Riikonen, Salonen, Partanen, & Verho, 1999).…”
