Brain-Gut Axis Modulation of Acupuncture in Functional Dyspepsia: A Preliminary Resting-State fcMRI Study

Figure 3

Seeds were placed in MTL-hippocampus and IPL. Treatment-related improvement only showed in the left hemisphere. The left MTL-hippocampus seed regions were correlated with lateral prefrontal cortex, orbital gyrus, and middle and posterior cingulate gyrus. The regions strongly correlated with left IPL seed included inferior lateral prefrontal cortex, supramarginal gyrus, posterior cingulate anterior cingulate cortex, and medial prefrontal cortex.
