Bad at math?
From ScienceDaily:
"Scientists now have discovered the area of the brain linked to dyscalculia, demonstrating that there is a specific part of the brain essential for counting properly. In a report published in the March 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers explain that the area of the brain known as the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), located toward the top and back of the brain and across both lobes, is crucial for the proper processing of numerical information."

What you didn't mention was that dyscalculia is not the cause of all difficulties with math, only the ones involving an inability to conceptualize quantities. When I read it I thought it was an interesting article too - but that's a major limitation.

Interesting. I haven't looked into this topic ever before.
