Course Description
Traditional Chinese medicine has long incorporated therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring balance within the body. In this ISCN lecture, Dr. Ayla Wolf explores the relationship between acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and modern concepts in functional neurology. The session examines how acupuncture stimulation may influence neural signaling pathways and physiological responses within the nervous system. Participants will learn about conceptual parallels between traditional Chinese medical principles and contemporary neurological frameworks that emphasize neural regulation and adaptation. The lecture also reviews research investigating the neurophysiological effects of acupuncture, including its potential influence on pain modulation and neural activity. By exploring connections between traditional healing systems and modern neuroscience, this session highlights how integrative approaches may contribute to broader perspectives on neurological care.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand foundational concepts of traditional Chinese medicine.
- Explore how acupuncture may influence neurological function.
- Examine parallels between traditional medicine and functional neurology.
- Learn neurophysiological mechanisms associated with acupuncture.
