[Abstract] In recent years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has gradually increased to explore the brain effect and neuromechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion, and has made a series of new progress. The study was carried out on healthy subjects or the patients before and after the treatment. Multimodality imaging methods such as task, resting state and brain structure were used to observe the changes of brain morphology, functional activation and network after acupuncture. The brain effect characteristics of acupuncture at acupoints, especially the brain function and network change rules related to acupuncture effect, were preliminarily discovered. These findings enriched the basis of acupuncture as the brain science aspect.
