BringMeMyFix I would've thought the concept of 'metre' is stored in semantic memory (medial temporal lobe), at least in terms of "thinking for speaking/listening", though I'll go along with the idea of the IPS if 'metre' is stored as a distance in space that's been visually attended to. I'll bet the primary motor cortex might play a part too, if 'metre' is recalled as "oh, about this wide [gesturing with arms and hands]" etc.
Neuroscience on a fixed gear/singlespeed forum. The mind boggles (though I don't know what the neuroanatomical correlate of 'boggling' is).
The 'word' metre is certainly going to fire up the temporal lobe, but like I said the 'concept' is likely to be spread around, I would also agree that the motor cortex is involved, in fact it is likely we could make a valid claim for most of the brain.
Unlike telephone numbers and crisp flavours which are stored exclusively just behind the eyes*
