In an increasingly multilingual and multicultural world, understanding the interactions between language and mathematics is critical, especially when individuals must acquire and exercise their mathematical competencies in multiple languages. Indeed, research shows that, overall, L2 language learners are at an academic disadvantage compared to their L1 peers. The current article briefly overviews how multilingualism influences basic and advanced mathematical skills and interacts with mathematical learning difficulties.

The goal of measuring conceptual processing in numerical cognition is distanced by the possibility that neural responses to symbolic numerals are influenced by physical stimulus confounds. Here, we targeted conceptual responses to parity (even versus odd), using electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency-tagging with a symmetry/asymmetry design. Arabic numerals (2-9) were presented at 7.

Article Synopsis
  • RexA and RexB are part of an exclusion system that stops certain bacteriophage mutants from infecting Escherichia coli cells infected with a specific lambda phage.
  • Recent studies reveal that RexA can bind to DNA independently of RexB, leaning the lambda switch towards lytic activity, but the precise molecular interactions behind this are not well-defined due to limited structural data.
  • The authors present a detailed crystal structure of the RexA dimer, showing its two-domain setup and similarities to another protein, suggesting potential conformational changes necessary for DNA binding, with further evidence from mutagenesis studies highlighting its role in phage exclusion and bistable switch modulation.

Studies using frequency-tagging in electroencephalography (EEG) have dramatically increased in the past 10 years, in a variety of domains and populations. Here we used Fast Periodic Visual Stimulation (FPVS) combined with an oddball design to explore visual word recognition. Given the paradigm's high sensitivity, it is crucial for future basic research and clinical application to prove its robustness across variations of designs, stimulus types and tasks.
