Connectivity Study of the Neuromechanism of Acute Acupuncture Needling during fMRI in “Overweight” Subjects
Table 4
Comparison of common brain regions activated between real acupuncture (ACU) versus minimal sham acupuncture (SHAM). Regions of interest (ROIs) used for the comparisons were the hypothalamus (HYP) and left and right amygdala (AMY). These uncorrected comparisons were set at with a value of 2.898.
