Description:	NCCAM Distinguished lecture Dr. Rosen’s research focuses on the development and utilization of physiological and functional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and the application of this technology to solve specific biological and clinical problems. The techniques that he and his colleagues have developed in functional imaging are used by hospitals throughout the world to evaluate patients with stroke, brain tumors, dementia, and mental illnesses. In this lecture, Dr. Rosen will discuss what NMR techniques reveal about the effects of acupuncture on the mind and body, as well as the insights that these diagnostic techniques have provided regarding how acupuncture affects localized neural activity, neurochemistry, and analgesia. Such studies hold the promise of increasing our understanding of the neurobiology of acupuncture and our ability to integrate this ancient healing technique with evidence-based medicine.
