Acupuncture Improves Sleep Conditions of Minipigs Representing Diurnal Animals through an Anatomically Similar Point to the Acupoint (GV20) Effective for Humans

Figure 1

Acupoints for pigs used in the present study are shown in comparison with human acupoints. Human-Baihui (h-Baihui, GV20), the midpoint of a line connecting both ears, is an anatomically similar point to Dafengmen in pigs. Pig-Baihui (p-Baihui) is on top of the body, which designates the point of Baihui according to traditional Chinese medicine.
