Today&#8217;s efforts of many psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists aim to understand both mechanisms of mathematical cognition shared by all humans and individual differences in mathematical skills. According to popular views, the elementary &#8220;sense of numerosity&#8221; associated with frontoparietal networks constitutes scaffolding for arithmetic, which in turn is considered the basis for more advanced mathematical skills. The core idea is that full-fledged mathematical cognition cannot be properly developed if elementary representations of numbers, both non-symbolic and symbolic, are not well-constructed. However, in most previous research, the association between mathematical achievements and performance in tasks tapping into elementary numerical processing has been studied in individuals with typical mathematical skills or in populations with math learning problems. My talk will focus on mathematical cognition in much less studied populations characterized by extraordinary mathematical skills, i.e., professional mathematicians, prodigious calculators, and savants. On the one hand, I will try to figure out behavioral and neural patterns that distinguish those groups from the general population. On the other hand, I will show what distinguishes &#8220;the right tail&#8221; of the distribution of full-fledged mathematical competences, i.e., mathematicians.
