Timing of Acupuncture during LTP-Like Plasticity Induced by Paired-Associative Stimulation

Figure 2

Effects of the acupuncture on MEP amplitude. (a) Amplitude changes of MEPs in FDI muscles following the needle insertion in situ on the contralateral hemisphere of the acupuncture sites. (b) Amplitude changes of MEPs in FDI muscles after the needle removal from the in situ on the contralateral hemisphere of the acupuncture sites. (c) Amplitude changes of MEPs in FDI muscles following the needle insertion in situ on the ipsilateral hemisphere of the acupuncture sites. (d) Amplitude changes of MEPs in FDI muscles following the needle insertion in situ on the ipsilateral hemisphere of the acupuncture sites.
