title: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the possible mechanism of the action of acupuncture at Dazhong (KI 4) on the functional cerebral regions of healthy volunteers.
abstract: Acupuncture at right Dazhong (KI 4) mostly affects functional magnetic resonance imaging signal in the right inferior frontal gyrus, right insular lobe, right thalamus, right middle frontal gyrus and right orbitofrontal cortex, which are associated with governing executive functions, emotional activities and social behaviour.
