Investigation of Acupuncture Effects on Vegetative Brain Centres Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

摘要：

FMRI has been used to study acupuncture effects for more than 10 years now.Many investigators have shown activations and deactivations of cortical structures,mostly of the limbic system (amygdala,insula,cingular cortex) that were interpreted as a modulation of the limbic network.As some of these structures also coordinate vegetative functions,recently interest has grown in imaging vegetative brainstem centers.
