3. NeuroEducation Neuroeducation is to understand what nervous, disturbances and diseases, in students can affect their learning. Teachers can collaborate with other professionals to address it in terms of special education methods for social inclusion of his/her affected students.

4. Common ailments Neuroeducation encompasses the study of common ailments such as: – Dyslexia – Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) – Learning disability – Vision and hearing impairment – Mental diseases such as depression, anxiety, etc.

5. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Definition of ADHD – It describes children who display persistent age- inappropriate symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are sufficient to cause impairment in major life activities.

6. Related research of ADHD Atypical Motor and Sensory Cortex Activation in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Simple Sequential Finger Tapping Figure 1. Areas of activation during sequential finger tapping within the (A) control group (B) ADHD group at a threshold equivalent to corrected. Color images depict peak sensorimotor cortex activation. Conclusions: Despite similar speed of sequential finger tapping, children with ADHD showed decreased contralateral motor cortex and right parietal cortex activation during both right-handed finger sequencing (RHFS) and left- handed finger sequencing (LHFS). The fMRI findings suggest that children with ADHD have anomalous development of cortical systems necessary for execution of patterned movements.
