7 cortical targets · from 28 neuroimaging studies (meta-analysis).

Self-made meta-analytic figure

No clean single Neurosynth term for this condition (rare; honestly flagged as a placeholder — no figure is fabricated). The remaining evidence still comes from the source review and the target table.

For trained acupuncturists · point-visualization reference, literature sources, and assistive ordering only · not for automated diagnosis · does not replace clinical judgment · does not by itself decide any treatment.

Reference Points (7)

Each target is a literature-derived association, not causal · any weight is an evidence-strength indicator, not an efficacy/safety claim.
