A Review : Fundamental and Applications of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( fMRI ) on brain learning activities

Brain activities also known as neuron activities, and its learning activities are defined as the brain’s ability to learn. Learning is part of the dynamic brain process. It consists of visions, comprehension, reasoning, and information storage. By searching deeply into the cellular level of a brain’s operation and by considering the function of the interconnected neurons, it enables us to learn and memorize. Nowadays, there are many brain imaging technologies that enable people to study the activity arising from a large group of neurons instead of only the behavior of single neurons. Since 1990s, the application of fMRI has rapidly increased and numerous experiments and studies relating to human brain activities have been conducted. Mental arithmetic as a higher mental development has been a focus in this neuroimaging study to identify the connection between several number of factors and significant brain region activations.
