Effects of long-term practice and task complexity on brain activities when performing abacus-based mental calculations: a PET study

Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the neural bases for the exceptional mental calculation ability possessed by Chinese abacus experts through PET imaging. Methods We compared the different regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) patterns using 15 O-water PET in 10 abacus experts and 12 non-ex...
