Abstract(in English)	The recent advancement of functional brain imaging techniques enable us to visualize functional organization of the human brain involved in higher cognitive functions. Therefore, education, sociology, linguistics, medicine, a variety of other disciplines and areas of brain science can collaborate and integrate. From the results of our brain imaging studies, we hypothesized that the fundamental learning of arithmetic and language might be activated bilateral prefrontal cortices, and that activation of the prefrontal cortex improve general prefrontal functions of those children. We, then, found clinical evidences to support our hypothesis by intervention studies.
