Ferrer (Ferrer et al.)

Ferrer et al. conducted research on how the brain processes symbolic reasoning, focusing on how we understand and manipulate symbols in problem-solving. They examined neural activity to identify which brain areas are involved when people work with abstract symbols, like numbers and letters, instead of concrete objects. Their findings help clarify the neural mechanisms behind logical thinking and reasoning, providing insights into cognitive functions related to mathematics and language. This work advances our understanding of the brain’s role in complex mental processes that are essential for learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
