In this study

based on the neuroimaging literature Meta analysis retrieved from Neurosynth platform

the scalp stimulation targets for common psychiatric diseases are developed

obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia. The paper introduces the functions of the brain areas that are involved in each target and closely related to the diseases

and lists the therapeutic methods of common acupuncture/scalp acupuncture and common neuromodulation methods for each disease so as to provide the references for clinical practice. Based on the study results above

the paper further summarizes the overlapped stimulation targets undergoing the intervention with scalp acupuncture for common psychiatric diseases

and the potential relationship between these stimulation targets and treatments with acupuncture and moxibustion.
