穴位相关性的初步研究利用功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）对古代东方文献提出的用于治疗眼部疾病的穴位（穴位）和西医描述的相应的视觉脑定位进行了研究。视觉相关穴位（VA 1）位于足部的外侧，当在该处进行针刺刺激时，通过功能磁共振成像可以看到枕叶的激活。通过fMRI，直接使用光刺激眼睛导致枕叶中类似的激活。通过使用常规棋盘式8-Hz闪光刺激眼睛并观察时程数据来进行实验，然后通过使用与视觉光刺激相同的时程范例刺激VA 1来进行艾德，12名志愿者获得的结果产生了非常干净的数据和视觉和针灸刺激之间非常密切的相关性。同时刺激距视觉相关穴位2 ~ 5cm的非穴位作为对照，枕叶未观察到激活。结果表明，大脑皮层特定区域的激活与古代针灸文献中所预言的相应穴位刺激之间存在相关性。
A preliminary study of the correlation between acupuncture points (acupoints) for the treatment of eye disorders suggested by ancient Oriental literature and the corresponding brain localization for vision described by Western medicine was performed by using functional MRI (fMRI), The vision-related acupoint (VA1) is located in the lateral aspect of the foot, and when acupuncture stimulation is performed there, activation of occipital lobes is seen by fMRI. Stimulation of the eye by directly using light results in similar activation in the occipital lobes by fMRI, The experiment was conducted by using conventional checkerboard 8-Hz light-flash stimulation of the eye and observation of the time-course data, This was follow ed by stimulation of the VA1 by using the same time-course paradigm as visual light stimulation, Results obtained with 12 volunteers yielded very clean data and very close correlations between visual and acupuncture stimulation. We have also stimulated nonacupoints 2 to 5 cm away from the vision-related acupoints on the foot as a control, and activation in the occipital lobes was not observed, The results obtained demonstrate the correlation between activation of specific areas of brain cortices and corresponding acupoint stimulation predicted by ancient acupuncture literature.
