[Abstract] Taichong acupoint is the primary acupoint on the liver meridian Foot-Jueyin. Clinically, it is often combined with Guangming and Hegu acupoint to treat a variety of diseases. Through searching and consulting literature, it can be seen that acupuncture at Taichong acupoint, Guangming acupoint and Hegu acupoint can not only activate functional areas of the brain, but also effectively activate specific functional areas of the cerebellum. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) showed that the activation regions of the cerebellum were enhanced, and that the cerebellum was also specific and lateralized. The cerebellum was activated in the multi-task of acupuncture at Taichong and its different points. The neural network signals of acupuncture treatment related diseases may be integrated in the cerebellum. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the changes of the cerebellar functional areas caused by acupuncture at single points and acupoints matching, which is conducive to reveal the law of compatibility, has guiding significance for clinical application of acupoints matching, and can enhance the clinical therapeutic effect.
