Is this the reason why most people used to struggle with math?

Which areas of the brain light up more intensely when mathematicians (in blue) and ordinary people (in green) are doing two things:
Blue area: Mathematicians' brain regions light up much more than ordinary people when thinking about "meaningful mathematical expressions" (especially the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe).
Green area: Ordinary people tend to be brighter when thinking about "meaningful ordinary language sentences."
The brain of a mathematician understands mathematical formulas as a mother tongue, activating the highest-level areas of language, semantics, and abstract concepts.
However, ordinary people are less confused when they see the active area of the formula.

This is also why you often heard mathematicians say that looking at formulas makes them feel that "mathematics is beautiful."

Another study suggests that after a period of learning programming, the mathematical areas of ordinary people will also be activated accordingly.
