[Abstract] Objective: To discuss the cerebral activating effects of acupuncturing dazhong acupoint by function magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Materials and Methods: Twelve cases of healthy young volunteers were Choosed. Acupuncture subjects was the right side dazhong acupoint (luo acupoint). 3.0 T magnetic resonance was used to scan the brain. The obtained experimental data were processed and analyzed by SPM8 (statistical parametric mapping) software.Results: Acupuncturing subjects dazhong acupoint activated anterior cerebellar lobe, the left inferior temporal gyrus BA37, the left middle temporal gyrus BA38, BA39, left temporal pole BA38, right temporal pole BA32, the left side of the brain stem, the left globus pallidus, the right middle frontal gyrus BA6 and the left superior frontal gyrus BA6.Conclusions: Acupuncturing dazhong acupoint that avtivates the brain areas are mainly located in frontal lobe, temporal lobe, anterior cerebellar lobe, brain stem and globus pallidus. Their main function is responsible for the afferent of body sensory impulse. They are consistent with the somatosensory centre of heel pain and waist pain in the brain.
