Cellular and molecular events can be investigated using electrophysiological techniques. In particular, the patch-clamp method provides detailed information. In addition, the patch-clamp technique has become a powerful method for investigating the mechanisms underlying the effects of acupuncture. In this paper, recent researches on how acupuncture might modulate electrophysiological responses in the central nervous system (CNS) and affect peripheral structures are reviewed.
细胞和分子事件可以用电生理学技术进行研究。特别是，膜片钳技术提供了详细的信息。此外，膜片钳技术已成为研究针刺作用机制的有力方法。本文综述了近年来关于针刺如何调节中枢神经系统（CNS）的电生理反应以及影响周围结构的研究。
