摘要

大数据时代下，神经影像学和先进算法分析推动了脑科学研究和脑图谱绘制的进步，针灸作为一种被全球广泛认可的体表刺激疗法，对卒中、抑郁症等多种脑病有效，但其与脑功能的联系及对脑功能的调节规律尚需系统性研究和总结，传统经络理论的科学诠释和临床应用能力也亟待突破。因此，提出构建“经络体表刺激的脑映射图谱”的倡议，旨在探索刺激十二经脉、奇经八脉、经别、络脉、经筋及皮部等发挥的关键治疗作用与脑功能联系的规律，科学诠释中医经络理论，并提升其实际应用能力。本文首先概述脑图谱绘制的现状；其次综述针灸和大脑之间联系的已有研究进展，并阐述构建该图谱的必要性；分析构建方法及其面临的技术关键问题；最后展望了经络体表刺激的脑映射图谱应用前景及其在促进传统经络理论与时俱进中的重要意义。

Abstract

In the era of big data

neuroimaging and algorithmic analyses have propelled brain science research and brain mapping. Acupuncture

widely recognized as an effective surface stimulation therapy

has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy for various brain conditions such as stroke and depression. However

the mechanisms linking acupuncture to brain function and its modulatory effects on brain activity require systematic exploration. Additionally

there is an urgent need to scientifically reinterpret traditional meridian theory and enhance its clinical applicability. Therefore

we propose the initiative of constructing a "brain mapping atlas of meridian

collateral and body surface stimulation" to explore the patterns linking the therapeutic effects of stimulating the twelve meridians

eight extraordinary vessels

divergent channels

collateral channels

sinew channels

and skin regions to brain function. This initiative aims to provide a scientific interpretation of traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory and enhance its practical applicability. This paper begins by reviewing the current state of brain mapping. It then summarizes existing research on the relationship between acupuncture and the brain

highlighting the necessity of constructing this atlas. The paper further analyzes the methodologies and technical challenges involved. Finally

the potential applications of the brain mapping atlas of meridian

collateral and body surface stimulation

and its main significance in advancing traditional meridian theory to keep pace with the times are prospected.
