The number sense: likely innate, surely not visual. A commentary on "Is there an innate sense of number in the brain?"
Lorenzi et al. (2025) convincingly support the idea of an innate number sense. However, in their paper, and in most of the commentaries it triggered, authors assume that the number sense is visually grounded. We challenge this view based on two key arguments: the number sense is supramodal and can develop in congenitally blind people. Together, these points suggest that the number sense is a modality-independent faculty, accessible through any sensory and cognitive channels, with vision being just one convenient gateway among others.
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.
