About traces of functional activity of acupuncture points and meridians after a person's death

Abstract

A doctor brought up in the traditions of the Pavlovian school is inclined to consider all physiological manifestations of the human body subordinate to the regulatory influences of the nervous system. At the same time, they completely ignore the fact that both in ontogenesis and in phylogeny, the nervous system appears quite late and that up to this point other regulatory mechanisms operate quite effectively in the body, precisely determining the interaction of various tissues and rudiments of organs with each other. These mechanisms are associated with direct, not yet mediated by the nervous system, energy-informational interactions of organs and tissues. It is believed that with the emergence of the nervous system, the former mechanisms of regulation fade into the background, manifesting themselves only in special phenomena that are difficult to explain from the standpoint of pure nervism. Such phenomena include acupuncture.
