- Title of Paper:18. Acupuncture modulates temporal neural responses in wide brain networks: evidence from fMRI study
- Journal:Molecular Pain
- Summary:Accumulating neuroimaging studies in humans have shown that acupuncture can modulate a widely
distributed brain network, large portions of which are overlapped with the pain-related areas. Recently, a striking feature
of acupuncture-induced analgesia is found to be associated with its long-last effect, which has a delayed onset and
gradually reaches a peak even after acupuncture needling being terminated. Identifying temporal neural responses in
these areas that occur at particular time – both acute and sustained effects during acupuncture processes – may
therefore shed lights on how such peripheral inputs are conducted and mediated through the CNS. In the present
study, we adopted a non-repeated event-related (NRER) fMRI paradigm and control theory based approach namely
change-point analysis in order to capture the detailed temporal profile of neural responses induced by acupuncture. - Co-author:Bai L（第一作者），et al.
