The neuronal specificity of acupoints has not been entirely supported by the results of previous functional magnetic resource imaging studies. This study tested the specificity of an acupoint using right Rangu (KI 2) and its sham acupoint. The results showed specific cerebral response patterns and thus provided the evidence of the existence of acupoint neuronal specificity.
先前的功能磁共振成像研究并未完全支持穴位的神经元特异性。本研究使用右侧然谷(KI2)及其假穴来测试穴位的特异性。结果显示出特定的大脑反应模式,从而为穴位神经元特异性的存在提供了证据。
