Single-cell approaches have shone a spotlight on discrete context-specific tissue macrophage states, deconstructed to their most minute details. Machine-learning (ML) approaches have recently challenged that dogma by revealing a context-agnostic continuum of states shared across tissues.

Some of Michel Foucault's work focusses on an archeological and genealogical analysis of certain aspects of the medical episteme, such as 'Madness and Civilization' (1964/2001), 'The Birth of the Clinic' (1973) and 'The History of Sexuality' (1978/2020a). These and other Foucauldian works have often been invoked to characterize, but also to normatively interpret mechanisms of the currently existing medical episteme.

Objective: The review intended to analyze and discuss the historical development of Jiao's SA system, the composition of Jiao's SA stimulation zones, and the projection of the cerebral cortex's function zones on the scalp, to correct the shortcomings and inaccuracies of Jiao's hypothesis and accelerate the development of SA and its clinical application based on solid evidence.
Design: The research team performed a narrative review based on the literature currently available.
