Abstract	To characterize the brain mapping on reinforcement acupuncture stimulation at ST36 (zusanli), and to discuss the mechanisms of acupuncture to treat diseases. fMRI was performed on 26 healthy Chinese student volunteers. Sixteen subjects were acupunctured at the acupoint ST36, while 10 others at sham-acupoint (lateral from ST36 about 3 cm). The fMRI studies were performed using a gradient echo-EPI sequence. Brain mapping were generated using GE Functool program. Cerebral blood flow and correlation coefficient (CC) of ROl were analyzed. Stimulation at the right ST36 elicited 13 brain functional areas, and 10 of these areas were the same with the sham-acupoint group. However, only the temporal gyrus was specificity while by using reinforcement manual acupuncture (MA) at ST36 (Fisher's Exact test, P=0.022), and the contralateral hemisphere activation was prominent (McNemer test, P=0.020). Our results support the theory of acupuncture about meridian distribution overlapping on the whole body. The special transmission channel of meridian may exists, and it may be consist of spinal nerve and autonomic nerve. However, our results may oppose the theory concerning on stomach meridian walking lateral
