Multi-Modality Neuroimaging Study on Neurobiological Mechanisms of Acupuncture (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

"This is a very interesting use of assessment tools, as well as modern knowledge of the brain and its functions, to assess an ancient medical model. ... The audience includes any medical providers or students with an interest in the efficacy of TCM ... . The book incorporates a depth of knowledge of both paradigms of thought and synthesizes the science of both. ... I love this book and will incorporate its contents into classes that I teach."
