Neuro-Psychiatry Connection

Neurological Map of the Spirit

Connecting Eastern 'Heart (Mind)' and Western 'Brain'.
Translating TKM mental mechanisms into the language of modern science through fMRI and Neural Network theory.

Meridians and Neural Networks

The TKM Meridian system is not just blood vessels, but an information transmission network.
It shows striking structural similarity to modern Connectome theory.

Default Mode Network (DMN) & Spleen (Bi)

Functional decline of the Spleen (governing Thought/Cognition) connects to DMN hyperactivity (Rumination) in modern medicine. This is consistent with the mechanism of depression.

Salience Network & Heart (Shim)

The Heart, where the 'Spirit (Shen)' resides, acts like the brain's Salience Network, filtering important stimuli and focusing consciousness.

Dynamic Connectivity

Mapping the flow of Qi (Energy) changes due to emotion onto a 3D Phase Space. A 'Chaos' state deviating from the Attractor (Stability) corresponds to the neurological pattern of 'Hwabyung' (Anger Syndrome).
