- - Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt structurally and functionally in response to injury, involving changes at the levels of synapses and larger brain areas.
- - Recent studies indicate that acupuncture may positively impact brain plasticity, offering potential treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's, dementia, and autism by regulating synaptic plasticity and enhancing neuronal growth and repair.
- - Future research should focus on understanding how acupuncture fosters the brain’s protective responses during injury and the need for standardized practices in acupuncture treatments to optimize outcomes.
