From cortical excitation to cognition: the case of mathematics
- Abstract:
-
Excitatory and inhibitory neurons have important roles in learning and skill acquisition in the brain. Glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the brain’s major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain, respectively. Until recently, the link between such neurochemicals and higher-order cognition could not be directly observed in the living human brain. With the advent of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), an MRI-based method to measure regional concentrations o...
