Connectivity Study of the Neuromechanism of Acute Acupuncture Needling during fMRI in “Overweight” Subjects
Table 2
Brain regions comparing activations between real acupuncture (ACU) versus minimal sham acupuncture (SHAM). Activations indicate whether ACU was greater than SHAM or SHAM was greater than ACU. Region of interest (ROI) used for the comparisons was the left amygdala. This was an uncorrected comparison set at with a value of 2.898.
