The Disconnected Brain: The Neurocognitive Profile of Developmental Dyscalculia

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the neurobiological aspects underlying developmental dyscalculia and its effects on numerical processing.
• Analyzed the neurobiological foundations of developmental dyscalculia.
• Focused on the approximate number system and its deficits.
• Examined atypical brain connectivity using imaging techniques.
• Explored the role of neuroplasticity in these cognitive processes.
• Identified core deficits in the approximate number system among individuals with dyscalculia.
• Noted significant differences in brain connectivity patterns.
• Supported the disconnection hypothesis with findings related to brain areas involved in numerosity.
