The fMRI data were analyzed with SPM 2 software package.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The activating areas of acupuncture at Daling (PC 7) were mainly on Brodmann 46/47/44/9 areas of inferior frontal gyrus, Brodmann 6 area of middle frontal gyrus, Brodmann 22 area of superior temporal gyrus and Brodmann 40 area of postcentral gyrus and inferior parietal lobule.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pathogenetic factors of mental diseases are very complicated, damange or hypofunction or inadequate activation of frontal lobe and temporal lobe are closely related with mental diseases.
