Development of magnitude processing in children with developmental dyscalculia: space, time, and number

It is concluded that children with DD suffer from a general magnitude-processing deficit, a shared magnitude system likely exists, and a symbolic number- processing deficit in DD tends to be preceded by an ANS deficit.

Longitudinal Brain Development of Numerical Skills in Typically Developing Children and Children with Developmental Dyscalculia

Results suggest a continuation in neural development of number representation in DD, whereas the neural network for simple ordinal number estimation seems to be stable or show only subtle changes in TD children over time.

Neural Correlates of Symbolic Number Comparison in Developmental Dyscalculia

The findings suggest that dyscalculia is associated with impairment in areas involved in number magnitude processing and, to a lesser extent, in areas dedicated to domain-general magnitude processing.

Developmental Dyscalculia in Adults: Beyond Numerical Magnitude Impairment

Results showed that adults with DD were impaired in processing numerosity and duration, while their performance in length and face categorization did not differ from controls’ performance.

Developmental dyscalculia: Neurobiological, cognitive, and developmental perspectives.

Open research questions, including the role of domain-general cognitive resources in DD, causes and developmental consequences of comorbidity, as well as design and evaluation of interventions for DD are briefly discussed.

Functional hyperconnectivity vanishes in children with developmental dyscalculia after numerical intervention

Developmental dyscalculia is related to visuo-spatial memory and inhibition impairment☆

Weak task-related modulation and stimulus representations during arithmetic problem solving in children with developmental dyscalculia

Does attentional training improve numerical processing in developmental dyscalculia?

The results imply that attentional training does improve most of the attentional deficits of those with DD, and does not improve the abnormalities of the DD group in arithmetic or basic numerical processing.

Age-related Changes in the Activation of the Intraparietal Sulcus during Nonsymbolic Magnitude Processing: An Event-related Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

It is proposed that developmental impairments of number may be associated with atypical specialization of cortical regions underlying magnitude processing, and even the most basic aspects of numerical cognition are subject to age-related changes in functional neuroanatomy.

THREE PARIETAL CIRCUITS FOR NUMBER PROCESSING

The horizontal segment of the intraparietal sulcus appears as a plausible candidate for domain specificity: It is systematically activated whenever numbers are manipulated, independently of number notation, and with increasing activation as the task puts greater emphasis on quantity processing.

Modulation of Parietal Activation by Semantic Distance in a Number Comparison Task

The time to compare two numbers shows additive effects of number notation and of semantic distance, suggesting that the comparison task can be decomposed into distinct stages of identification and…

Searching for a baseline: Functional imaging and the resting human brain

This work explores the possibility that there might be a baseline or resting state of brain function involving a specific set of mental operations, including the manner in which a baseline is defined and the implications of such a baseline for the understanding ofbrain function.
