Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Electroacupuncture Stimulating Uterine Acupoints

Table 1

Different brain regions before and after acupuncture intervention.

Brain region	Hemisphere	Condition	MNI			Cluster size	Peak
			Precuneus	Left	After acupuncture < before acupuncture			-27	-66	48	456	-5.3196
Posterior gyrus
Calcarine	Bilateral	After acupuncture < before acupuncture	0	-93	0	327	-5.7168
Lingual gyrus	Left
Cerebellum	Bilateral	After acupuncture < before acupuncture	-6	-72	-18	357	-5.4967

MNI: Montreal Neurological Institute, Montreal Institute. The cluster of precuneus also includes functional brain areas such as the central posterior gyrus and superior parietal lobule. The cluster of the talform sulcus also includes functional brain regions such as the lingual gyrus, middle occipital gyrus, and inferior occipital gyrus.
