The paper identifies simplex-shaped neural manifolds for number representation in the human medial temporal lobe and finds similarities with large language models.

This study uses fMRI to show that the IPS and language network in 3- to 5-year-olds support both numerosity and number word representations during counting acquisition.

The paper shows that naturalistic and laboratory arithmetic tasks activate overlapping brain regions in children and adults, specifically the intraparietal cortex, indicating it processes mathematical content regardless of task mode.

The paper examines neural responses in children and adults during naturalistic and laboratory mathematics tasks, finding that neural maturity and entropy are independent markers of brain development.
