太极拳的功能性磁共振成像研究进展与思路探讨

A review of the research progress and idea discussion of functional magnetic resonance imaging with Tai Chi

该文对太极拳的功能性磁共振成像研究进展进行了深入综述分析。既往研究应用多种功能影像学分析方法证实,太极拳能够在多个脑区和脑网络产生增强效应,这为太极拳延缓大脑衰老的退行性改变提供了脑功能层面的证据支持。但既往研究也存在一定的不足之处,后续有必要开展更大规模的细化研究以进一步验证当前研究结果。

The current paper provided a review of the research progress and idea discussion of functional magnetic resonance imaging with Tai Chi. With a series of analysis methods, previous studies indicated that Tai Chi can increase the functional connectivity between many brain regions and networks. Taken together, these results have revealed the possible mechanisms of Tai Chi in postponing the aging degeneration of human brain in the central neural function level. However, previous studies still have some limitations. In the future, detailed large-scale studies are still in need to further confirm the current results.
