    This study examined the use and applications of tai chi and qigong, two forms of traditional Chinese medicine

[TCM] that incorporate breathing, mindfulness and moving meditation, in neuroscience. Microsoft Co-pilot, an

artificial intelligence bot, was used to find relevant studies. The studies were then summarized by the author.

The studies found that both tai chi and qigong can be effective as supplementary treatments in various areas

of neuroscience, including the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, motor and non-motor

function, cognitive impairment, stroke, dementia, memory and other neurological disorders. Tai chi and qigong

were found to reduce pain and fatigue, and to improve sleep and quality of life as well.
