Summary:

This book introduces essential advances in acupuncture studies using multi-modality neuroimaging, which provides insights into how specific brain networks are involved in acupuncture effects in humans. Stimulating different acupoints to treat various clinical conditions is usually accompanied by multi-dimensional physiological as well as psychological responses, which are regulated by the central nervous system. The book addresses disease-specific neural correlates and acupuncture-targeted regulatory encoding in the brain, and explains the temporal-spatial encoding in brain networks to clarify the acupuncture mechanisms. By highlighting the targeting mechanisms of typical indications of acupuncture, this book provides a scientific explanation for acupuncture therapy.

Contents:

Early Studies of acupuncture using fMRI

Temporospatial encoding of acupuncture's effects in the brain

Targeting mechanisms of typical indications of acupuncture

Findings of acupuncture mechanisms using EEG and MEG

Prospects of acupuncture research in the future.
