Abstract
This study aims to explore the acupuncture elict activity in specific brain area using low level laser. We investigated the cerebral effects of laser acupuncture at acupoint K1 with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). After group analysis, we find the significant activation area is on the Precuneus which concern with a wide spectrum of high intergrated tasks.
