摘要: 研究磁刺激神门穴状态下与静息状态下9名健康被试的脑电信号样本,分别构建两种状态下的脑功能网络,并对不同的网络测度进行分析.首次从复杂网络角度探索神门穴的治病机理,期望为穴位磁刺激疗法提供实验参考.分析结果表明磁刺激神门穴时脑电信号之间的关联系数值相比静息状态下降低,平均聚类系数、平均最短特征路径长度以及平均度在阈值区间均发生显著变化,小世界属性指标增强,并存在显著性差异(P<0.01).磁刺激神门穴状态下各节点通道间的紧密程度降低、连接情况较为松散、网络中各节点同步能力减弱、效率降低、网络规模减小,这时的大脑很可能处于一种比较镇静的状态而有利于睡眠的产生.Abstract: Treatment mechanism of Shenmen acupoint from the perspective of the complex network was explored, which would provide experimental references for magnetic stimulation therapy. The brain functional network differences between the magnetic stimulation at Shenmen acupoint and resting state of nine healthy volunteers were studied by analyzing the network features. The correlation coefficients under magnetic stimulation at Shenmen acupoint are lower than those at resting state. Comparing to the resting state, average clustering coefficient, average shortest path length and average degree change significantly. The small world attribution was enhanced. Magnetic stimulation at Shenmen acupoint reduces the compact degree between the nodes and makes the connection much looser. Synchronization capability of network becomes weak. The efficiency reduces and the network size can be diminished. Then the brain is likely to be in a state of comparative calm and conduces to sleeping.
