Neurodegenerative Encephalopathy Acupuncture Point Mapping Atlas

SCF Neural Mapping Schema: Module 9 of Encephalopathy Types

Clinical use classification: Adjunctive supportive neuromodulation only. Neurodegenerative encephalopathy requires comprehensive neurologic evaluation including neuroimaging, neuropsychological testing, biomarker analysis, movement-disorder assessment, dementia workup, genetic screening where indicated, and multidisciplinary neurodegenerative disease management.

The SCF neural mapping method follows the layered model:

acupoint → peripheral nerve branch → dermatome/myotome → spinal or cranial entry → brainstem/hypothalamic/limbic/cortical node → autonomic, neuroimmune, mitochondrial, neurovascular, sensorimotor, or connectomic output.

Evidence tiers:

A = direct mechanistic/tracing evidence
B = indirect neuroimaging or physiology
C = anatomy-based inference

Basal ganglia degeneration	Support motor-network coordination
Autonomic neurodegeneration	Restore vagal-cardiometabolic balance

VI. Safety and Exclusion Notes

This atlas is not a substitute for:

dementia workup
movement-disorder management
neuropsychiatric evaluation
neuroimaging

rehabilitation medicine
caregiver and safety planning

Urgent escalation is required for:

rapid cognitive decline
psychosis
severe autonomic instability
aspiration risk
falls
seizures
delirium superimposed on dementia

Acupuncture mapping integration should occur only:

with neurologic oversight
with fall-risk precautions
after medication review
with autonomic and anticoagulation assessment where indicated
