To observe effect of electroacupuncture at Shenmen (HT 7) and Neiguan (PC 6) on brain functional imaging. The technique of functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to observe the activated state in different brain regions caused by electroacupuncture. The frontal lobe was activated by electroacupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and the temporal lobe by Shenmen (HT 7). Electroacupuncture at different acupoints can activate different brain regions, which provides objective basis for treatment of intellectual impairment by electroacupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6) and Shenmen (HT 7).
