Acupuncture therapy has a positive effect in the treatment of amblyopia.This article summarizes findings of the research on brain mechanisms underlying the regulatory effect of acupuncture on visual plasticity of amblyopia.In a multi-system and multi-level viewpoints

we elaborated brain mechanism underlying the regulatory effect of acupuncture on visual plasticity in amblyopia from the perspective of ultrastructure

plasticity

electrical activities

neural coding and visual microcirculation of the neurons of the visual cortex

and the targeting points from the visual center to the effector organ.
