[Abstract] Objective: To observe the activation and inhibitory areas in the brain by acupuncture normal healthy volunteers, and to explore the brain effect mechanism of "acupuncture at Chongyang point for the treatment of walking slowly and difficulty".Materials and Methods: Using the 3.0 T MR scan, 16 healthy volunteers were collected and the data were processed and statistically analyzed. Materials and Methods: Using the 3.0 T MR scan, 16 healthy volunteers were collected and the data were processed and statistically analyzed.Results: Acupuncture at Chongyang point positive activation area: the left cerebellum anterior lobe, cerebellum posterior lobe, center prefrontal gyrus of frontal lobes, superior temporal gyrus (BA42), temporal transverse back (BA41), middle temporal gyrus, parietal lobe, outer core, lentiform nucleus, the lateral pallidum, the right cerebellum posterior lobe, forehead prefrontal (BA6), middle frontal gyrus (BA10), inferior frontal gyrus, gyri temporales transversi, gyri temporalis mediium, posterior central gyrus of parietal lobe (BA3), inferior parietal lobule, cingulate gyrus(BA24), insula, thalamus. Negative activation area: the left occipital, posterior cingulate (BA30), precuneus, temporal gyrus, the right hippocampus, outer core.Conclusions: Acupuncture Chongyang closely associated with brain center of acupuncture effect, acupuncture information can directly affect the "pain matrix" reduce analgesic effect, pass though the effect of positive activation of thalamus on the conduction of pain information, and negative activated limbic system restrain subjective feelings of emotional response to alleviate the pain.
