angular gyrus in mental arithmetic: evidence from the associative confusion effect.
Social network proximity was also associated with neural response similarity within areas involved in attentional allocation, such as the right superior parietal cortex30, 31, and regions in the inferior parietal lobe, such as the bilateral supramarginal gyri and left inferior parietal cortex (which includes
the angular gyrus in the parcellation scheme used32), that have been implicated in bottom - up attentional control, discerning others» mental states, processing language and the narrative content of stories, and sense - making more generally33, 34,35.

in the brain that support reading, such as the
angular gyrus, which supports language comprehension, doesn't myelinate until at least five years old, and often more slowly
in boys.
