[Topographic correlations between the Chinese craniopuncture zones and the cerebral gyri]

Scalp acupuncture being a new chinese therapy in some nervous diseases, the authors establish here topographic relations between its areas and cerebral gyri. These areas are bordered by two main lines: the first is a medial antero-posterior line, the second is a transversal line joining the middle of the brow to the external occipital tuberosity. Brain extraction was possible after congelation. The sulci were injected by three different methods (aluminium wire, red lead and thick barium). Radiological research showed a close relationship between stimulation areas used in scalp acupuncture and neurological knowledge.
