Some people study hard, but their grades are always not ideal. Recently, a new study believes that mathematical ability can be inherited, which is related to the ROBO 1 gene in the brain. The researchers stressed that this does not mean that people who are good at mathematics are all inherited, or even that only one gene is responsible for mathematics, but they do determine a certain level of mathematical ability before birth.

Studies have shown that the ROBO 1 gene controls the growth of the brain, and the growth of the brain affects the mathematical ability as much as 20%. Mathematical cognition depends on various dynamic and interactive nervous systems. In addition to visual and auditory mechanisms, mathematical ability is also related to these: the attention and execution system of prefrontal cortex, the short-term memory preview mechanism of exercise, the long-term memory storage unit of middle temporal lobe, and the establishment of visual space with parietal cortex.

After reading the article, many people think that his parents are good (or poor) in math, so he can get good (or poor) math grades without studying hard. But this idea is wrong. Although heredity plays a role to a certain extent, acquired efforts are also a major reason. The knowledge of biology in middle school tells us that the characteristics of biology are determined by the complex interaction between genes and environment.

So, if you study really hard, but your math scores are still far from ideal, then your parents may have to bear the blame. But some people who don't study hard want to dump this pot on their parents. That's no good, because under the condition of environmental factors, you didn't try your best.
