Brain circuit that boosts maths skills in children has been discovered by experts

Triggers area called intraparietal sulcus, which is involved in processing figures 

Targeting it with special tutoring may improve learning abilities, researchers say

The circuit is also linked to the hippocampus where memories are stored

Scientists have discovered a brain circuit that boosts maths skills in children and could even be targeted to improve learning.

The circuit triggers an area near the back of the head known as the IPS (intraparietal sulcus), which is involved in processing figures, and is linked to the hippocampus where memories are stored.
