How our brains process "zero"
-
Despite its importance for mathematics, the neuronal basis of the number zero in the human brain was previously unknown. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn and the University of Tübingen have now discovered that individual nerve cells in the medial temporal lobe recognize zero as a numerical value and not as a separate category "nothing". The results have now been published in the journal "Current Biology".

@wtg I can't comment on what you posted but my brain translates it as-- "now."
I got my first of three Hep A/B vaccinations the other day and the pharmacist told me the schedule is-- "0, 1, 6."
It seems like a practical notion to me so I've adopted it.
