Clinical research shows that the incidence of TMD is closely related to joint anatomy, joint overload and occlusal factors. At present, the clinical treatment of TMD can be intervened by traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, and if necessary, the combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine can be used to improve the symptoms.展开更多

Ac-cording to the traditional cognitive theory, semantic proc-essing is not particularly associated with or affected by input modality. The functional brain imaging experiments were conducted to identify the common active areas of two mo-dalities when subjects perform Chinese semantic tasks through reading and listening respectively. The result has shown that the common active areas include left inferior frontal gyrus (BA 44/45), left posterior inferior temporal gyrus (BA37); the joint area of inferior parietal lobules (BA40) and superior temporal gyrus, the ventral occipital areas and cerebella of both hemispheres. It gives important clue to further discerning the roles of different cerebral areas in Chinese semantic processing.展开更多
