The Limbic-Prefrontal Network Modulated by Electroacupuncture at CV4 and CV12

Figure 5

Sham EA at CV4 and CV12 caused moderate changes of local FC. Local connectivity in subgenual of anterior cingulate cortex was bilaterally enhanced for CV4. Local connectivity was enhanced in the left medial middle frontal cortex and pregenual of the anterior cingulate cortex, the right insular and operculum for sham EA at CV12. Local connectivity decreased in bilateral visual cortex and somatosensory cortex during sham EA at CV12. No significant difference was found between two acupoints. (for CV4, 𝑛=20, for CV12, 𝑛=18, 𝑟>0.25, 𝑃<0.05).
