Abstract
Is intraparietal sulcus (IPS) activation during number processing driven by general ordinal associations between symbols? To test this, brain activation correlated with letters and numbers was measured. The IPS responded to numbers but not letters. These results suggest that number representation cannot be accounted for by general ordinal relationships.
