Abstract

In the current issue of Cerebral Cortex, Lorenzi et al. (2025) discuss evidence for an innate sense of object number (numerosity) in the brains of many species, without the need for visual experience. This commentary discusses how numerosity processing can be understood as an innate property of vision, derived from the spatial frequency-based representation of images in the visual systems of many animals.

期刊介绍： Cerebral Cortex publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus. Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included. The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
