Multimodal MRI Studies on Acupuncture-Promoted Motor Function Reconstruction after Cerebral Infarction
Reconstruction of motor function after cerebral infarction is a focus and challenging area in the field of rehabilitation.Existing studies have demonstrated that acupuncture can effectively improve motor dysfunction following cerebral infarction,but the specific mechanisms remain unclear.With the advent of the'golden age'of brain science,multimodal MRI technology has been widely applied to study the central effects of acupuncture,making it possible to non-invasively observe changes in brain structure and function due to acupuncture.This study reviews the effects of acupuncture on cerebral infarction patients as observed through MRI imaging from three perspectives:structure,function,and networks.It explores the relationship between motor function reconstruction and brain plasticity in cerebral infarction patients.Furthermore,it analyzes and summarizes the issues present in current research and suggests future directions for resolution,thereby aiding the further development of acupuncture neuroimaging.
