“The I-PFC extends between the longitudinal cerebral fissure that divides the two cerebral hemispheres and the lateral fissure below. This region receives processed multimodal information and has been described as a place "where past and future meet" by associating memories from the past with future actions.” MemoryNeuroscienceCognitive ScienceAndreas NiederNumerical ProcessingBtain Book:A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct Source: A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct
“Life without numbers is inconceivable for us. How else would we count objects, tell time, calculate prices, and so on? Our scientifically and technically advanced culture simply would not exist without numbers.” MathematicsMathNeuroscienceCognitive ScienceNeurobiologyCalculationAndreas NiederNumerical Processing Book:A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct Source: A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct
“Honeybees possess amazing numerical skills that rival those of many vertebrates. Honeybees have a reputation of being insect geniuses: not only can they enumerate and order numbers, but they also possess elaborate working memory to ponder about upcoming decisions, understand abstract concepts such as 'sameness' and 'difference', and learn intricate skills from other bees. And they achieve all of this with fewer than one million neurons.” AnimalsBeesNeuroscienceNeurobiologyAnimal BehaviorAnimal IntelligenceHoneybeesWorking Memory Book:A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct Source: A Brain for Numbers: The Biology of the Number Instinct
