 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 25 Acupuncture Neural coding characteristics of electrical information Author: Zhou Tao, Guo Yi, GUO Yong-ming, CHEN Ze-lin [Keywords:] acupuncture; signal transduction; Neural coding The role of acupuncture can produce two types of information, namely, chemical information and electrical information. Chemical information is through a number of chemical substances (such as histamine, Ca2, etc.) to the message, and its role generally have diffuse, slow and persistent character. Acupuncture effect to play, but also depends on the body’s nervous  endocrine system structure and function of the integrity and perfection in the process, converted into the corresponding acupuncture to stimulate nerve impulses, that is, electric acupuncture information. Electric acupuncture led to a corresponding segment of information within the neurotransmitters and the secretion of biologically active substances and release, which, through a series of target tissue cells, biological effects, resulting in the body to produce the acupuncture effect. In recent years, acupuncture and the consequent study of electric information is becoming hot. An acupuncture effect and nerve Information 1.1 points feelings installed in the electrical information generated acupuncture needles in the role of the sense of the generation and distribution of acupoints close to local receptors. Including free nerve endings, muscle spindle, the ring body, g’s final ball and the joint capsule, etc., including a variety of sensory receptors, is the material basis for the formation of needle feeling. Zhao Yan et al [1] from the cat’s spinal nerve dorsal root nerve fibers in isolated small bundles were found inside the knee and a sense of eye-acupuncture needle slowly adapting receptors are mainly deep receptors, and reveals the practices of acupuncture clockwise sense of the information coding laws of receptors. Dong Quan Sheng et al [2,3] applied electrophysiological methods and foun
