The post-EA effects (local functional connectivity). Local connectivity was enhanced (yellow and red) in medial frontal cortex, orbital gyrus, and anteroinferior portion of the anterior cingulate cortex, followed by hippocampus, parahippocampus, substantia nigra in the mid brain, and superolateral gyrus of the frontal lobe. Decreased local functional connectivity (blue) was found in primary somatosensory cortex, visual cortex, and supplementary motor cortex. Minor differences existed between two acupoints.
