      ab: Purpose: Human brain fiber tractography using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is a crucial stage in mapping brain white matter structures, pre-surgical planning, and extracting connectivity patterns. Accurate and reliable tractography, by providing detailed geometric information about the position of neural pathways, minimizes the risk of damage during neurosurgical procedures. Methods: Both tractography itself and its post-processing steps such as bundle segmentation are usually used in these contexts. Many approaches have been put forward in the past decades and recently, multiple data-driven tractography algorithms and automatic segmentation pipelines have been proposed to address the limitations of traditional methods. Results: Several of these recent methods are based on learning algorithms that have demonstrated promising results. In this study, in addition to introducing diffusion MRI datasets, we review learning-based algorithms such as conventional machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning and dictionary learning methods that have been used for white matter tract, nerve and pathway recognition as well as whole brain streamlines or whole brain tractogram creation. Conclusion: The contribution is to discuss both tractography and tract recognition methods, in addition to extending previous related reviews with most recent methods, covering architectures as well as network details, assess the efficiency of learning-based methods through a comprehensive comparison in this field, and finally demonstrate the important role of learning-based methods in tractography.
