What is the most bizarre real number that you can imagine? Probably many people think of an irrational number such as pi (π) or Euler’s number. And indeed, such values can be considered “wild.” After ...

Various behavioural paradigms indicate that numbers are represented along a left-to-right oriented 'mental number line'. In the spatial–numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect, small ...

In primates, number neurons in a dedicated parieto-frontal network encode the number of elements in a stimulus. Number neurons in the prefrontal cortex respond in an abstract manner, and their ...
