Cognitive science: From molecular biology to brain function

In the recent years the interest in neurocognitive and brain science research is relatively increased. In this study the relation of DNA and genetic factors that are interrelated to brain development and cognitive functions is analyzed. The author´s main purpose is to localize and analyze the function of the particular parts of brain which are related to specific cognitive functions. Especially the connection of specific brain cortexes with mathematical perception and mathematical learning difficulties also known as dyscalculia is analyzed and evaluated as well. Future directions to evaluate and enhance the theoretical outcomes by visualizing the brain activity through the use of brain imaging techniques are also discussed.
