Do your math skills offer benefits at work… or is math a dreaded defeat?
Interestingly, researchers just found the part of the brain that allows people to score and keep track through numbers. They found what they called - "accumulator neurons" … it’s in the parietal cortex of the brain. 
Amazingly - these neurons are said to allow us to estimate quantities and gauge things around us – through numbers. This areas of your brain will show up in your logical mathematical intelligence scores on this MI Growth survey.
There’s an interesting article over at ScientificAmerica.com today – titled … Counting on Your Brain to Keep Score. Nikhil Swaminathan writes ... “Researchers pinpoint the neurons responsible for figuring out how things add up.”
This study shows a set of cells in the top rear of the brain that apparently keeps score.
"It's akin to having a jar full of M&Ms and being asked how many of them are in there," says lead researcher, Jamie Roitman, a neuroscientist at the
They found a group of neurons in the intraparietal regions that become excited when “a higher number like 32 is flashed and then react in lower bursts as numbers decreased.”
Did you know you can add dendrite brain cells to increase your logical mathematical intelligence?
