This book summarises the recent development in acupuncture
research and in particular, the neurobiology of acupuncture. It
provides a focus but a diverse range of subjects covering many body
systems. The first a few chapters discuss the basic principles of
acupuncture, then its modulatory effects on nervous system such as
induction of neurotrophin and neurogenesis in the brain. Late
chapters explore the clinical effects and potential mechanisms of
acupuncture on different conditions ranging from neurological
diseases such as Parkinson s, Alzheimer s, and stroke, to
psychiatric illnesses, insomnia, hypertension, gastrointestinal
diseases and drug addiction. We believe this will promote the
understanding acupuncture treatment and enhance acupuncture
research in the future.
This volume of "International Review of Neurobiology" brings
together cutting-edge research on the neurobiology of acupuncture.
It reviews current knowledge and understanding, provides a starting
point for researchers and practitioners entering the field, and
builds a platform for further research and discovery."
