On April 9th, the Zuo Xi Nian Research Group of the Key Laboratory of Behavioral Science of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that Tai Chi exercise can change brain function activities. The study will help people better understand the neural mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan to promote physical and mental health, and further for the future. The deep biological mechanism that reveals the effects of Tai Chi exercise on human behavior provides a target brain area. Taijiquan, as a form of physical and mental exercise with Chinese traditional culture, has a special position in alternative medicine and traditional medicine (non-modern medical theory and technology). Taijiquan is a physical exercise that draws on Chinese classical philosophy and traditional Chinese medicine theory. It is characterized by both internal and external repair, gentleness, slowness, gentleness and flexibility, and is popularized and widely spread by people from all over the world. Previous studies have found that Tai Chi exercise can improve the body balance, prevent falls, reduce the risk of hypertension, and improve cardiovascular function. In addition, Tai Chi as a combination of complex motor skills and meditation has been proven to improve mental health, reduce depression and enhance executive function. However, until now, the brain neural mechanism of Taijiquan exercise affecting human behavior is not clear, and there are few related studies. In view of this, the Zuo Nianian Research Group of the Key Laboratory of Behavioral Science of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a series of experimental studies on Taijiquan, including the exploration of brain structure and function. The preliminary study results of the research group showed that Taijiquan exercise can significantly change the cortical thickness of certain characteristic brain regions. The cerebral cortex of the right dorsolateral prefrontal and premotor regions of the right brain showed significant thickening. Dr. Wei Gaoxia (Human Brain Function Connection and Development Laboratory), Institute of Psychology, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said in April 2013 that after four years of careful preparation and design, using magnetic resonance imaging technology, the system has been thoroughly investigated for many years. Morphological features of the brain structure of experienced Tai Chi exercisers. The study found that Tai Chi exercise significantly changed the cortical thickness of certain characteristic brain regions. The specific performance was that compared with the healthy control group, the Tai Chi Chuan expert group in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, premotor area, insula and In the left cerebral sulcus and lingual gyrus, the cerebral cortex showed significant thickening. In addition, the thickness of the right lingual cortex was significantly positively correlated with the intensity of tai chi practice. This result suggests that Tai Chi practice can change the structure of the human brain. This study directly confirms that Taijiquan is a research hypothesis of "sports meditation" from the perspective of neuroscience. In addition, the research is the first systematic exploration of the impact of Taijiquan on brain structure, providing reliable scientific evidence for further promoting China's traditional culture and popularizing Taijiquan. The recent study by the Zuo Xi Nian Research Group also used a 3T field-strength functional magnetic resonance imaging technique to perform a resting state scan of 22 Taijiquan exercisers and 18 control groups with an average exercise time of 14 years. The two-dimensional local consistency analysis method developed by this research group was used to compare the whole brain differences between the two groups. The results showed that compared with the control group, the local functional consistency of the Taijiquan group in the right central posterior gyrus was significantly enhanced, while the local functional consistency of the left anterior cingulate gyrus and the right dorsolateral prefrontal lobe was significant. reduce. The results suggest that Tai Chi exercise can change the local functional consistency of the brain at rest, trigger brain function changes and optimize brain function and tissue characteristics. The researchers believe that this study can not only help people better understand the neural mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan to promote physical and mental health, but also the consistent appearance and function of the right dorsolateral prefrontal brain region, which will further reveal the impact of Tai Chi exercise on humans in the future. The deep biological mechanisms of behavioral performance provide a target brain region. It is understood that the research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the National Key Basic Research Development Program (973), the Independent Key Laboratory of Mental Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Knowledge Innovation Project, the Chinese Academy of Sciences “Hundred Talents Program” and key deployment projects.
