#education In a study led by the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford University, suggests that lack of mathematical education negatively affects brain and cognitive development of adolescents, 133 students between 14 and 18 participated in this study.
The results found that students who had not studied mathematics had a smaller amount of a crucial chemical substance for brain plasticity (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in a key region involved in many important cognitive functions. The amount of this chemical successfully predicted changes in the score of mathematical achievements about 19 months later.
Mathematical skills are associated with a number of benefits such as employment, socioeconomic status, and mental and physical health and stopping studying mathematics in adolescence seems to cause a gap between abandoning adolescents compared to those who continue.
In the long term there are many unknowns, but this study provides an important understanding of how the lack of a single component in education can impact the brain and behavior.
