The Principal meridians are pathways that join acupoints with related physiologic effects. Despite nearly 5000 years of continuous clinical study, an accepted anatomic or physiologic basis for acupuncture's clinical effects has remained elusive. Some acupoints overlie peripheral nerves, and fMRI studies demonstrate that acupoints have specific effects on central nervous system processing. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) founders described the body's viscera based on anatomic dissections yet not a discrete nervous system. By applying computer graphics and virtual human imaging techniques to human developmental neuroanatomy, this paradox may potentially be explained: acupuncture Principal meridians likely are TCM's representation of the nervous system. This neuroanatomic model of the Principal meridians is consistent with acupuncture's known neurophysiologic effects, and may allow 5 millennia of accumulated TCM observations regarding human health and illness to be understood in modern anatomic and physiologic terms. http://precedings.nature.com/documents/3795/version/1 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:04:02 UTC The Neuroanatomic Basis of the Acupuncture Principal Meridians hdl:10101/npre.2009.3795.1 2009-09-22 Peter Dorsher Nature Precedings 2009-09-22T08:04:02Z Manuscript Neuroscience http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3483.1 This paper describes preliminary ideas on formalizing some concepts of neuroanatomy into ontological and epistemological terms. We envisage the application of this ontology on the assimilation of facts about medical knowledge about neuroimages from schizophrenic patients. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2009.3483.1 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:31:25 UTC An exercise on developing an ontology-epistemology about schizophrenia and neuroanatomy doi:10.1038/npre.2009.3483.1 2009-07-28 Rodolpho Freire Nature Precedings 2009-07-28T14:31:25Z Manuscript Neuroscience Bioinformatics http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.2202.1 This report contains a summary of expression patterns for genes that are enriched in the motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve (V) of the pons. All data is derived from the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) in situ hybridization mouse project. The structure’s location and morphological characteristics in the mouse brain are described using the Nissl data found in the Allen Reference Atlas. Using an established algorithm, the expression values of the motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve were compared to the values of its larger parent structure, in this case the pons, for the purpose of extracting regionally selective gene expression data. The highest ranking genes were manually curated and verified. 50 genes were then selected and compiled for expression analysis. The experimental data for each gene may be accessed via the links provided; additional data in the sagittal plane may also be accessed using the ABA. Correlations between gene expression in the motor nucleus of the trigeminal nerve and the rest of the brain, across all genes in the coronal dataset (~4300 genes), were derived computationally. A gene ontology table (derived from DAVID Bioinformatics Resources 2007) is also included, highlighting possible functions of the 50 genes selected for this report. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.2202.1 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:03:55 UTC Motor Nucleus of the Trigeminal Nerve doi:10.1038/npre.2008.2202.1 2008-08-18 Allen Institute for Brain Science Nature Precedings 2008-08-18T17:03:55Z Manuscript Genetics & Genomics Neuroscience http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/npre.2008.2201.1 This report contains a summary of expression patterns for genes that are enriched in the facial motor nucleus (VII) of the medulla.
