What are the neural correlates of number processing? ๐ ๐ง ๐ขโฃ
โฃ
Number processing in the brain is supported by a vast system of brain regions spanning across the cortex. Researchers have found that parietal lobe areas play a significant role in the calculation and processing of numbers, while frontal lobe areas play a critical role in the recall of numerical knowledge and working memory.โฃ

The Neuroscience of Writing
What areas of the brain have been associated with agraphia when lesioned? ๐ง ๐ฅ โฃ

Writing is a complex process, with ๐ ๐๐ก๐ฌ areas of the brain playing a role. This results in large neural networks responsible for the writing process โ๐ผ โฃ

That being said, the traditional agraphia classifications do have lesion sites that are associated with them.

The Neuroscience of Reading
Reading is not something that we are inherently hard-wired to do, like talking or listening. Instead, we need to be taught this skill through direct instruction. โฃ
โฃ
In order to accomplish this, we rely on the brainโs ability to change itself (also called ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐). Through neuroplasticity, neurological pathways are developed throughout the brain that allow for the skill of reading to develop and solidify.โฃ
