Fish Are Helping Researchers Understand the Origins of How Brains Compute Maths
According to research, fish perceive quantities using similar parts of their brains as mammals and birds. By pinpointing the cells and even genes that make basic maths possible, this research could provide a starting point for treating human neurodevelopmental diseases that impair number processing skills.
