Electroacupuncture Improved the Function of Myocardial Ischemia Involved in the Hippocampus-Paraventricular Nucleus-Sympathetic Nerve Pathway

Figure 7

“(a)” showed the flow diagram of experiment. “(b)” showed that the acupuncture signals were sent to the central nervous system via the peripheral nerves, next via the nerve fibers between the hippocampus and PVNs to regulate the excitability of the PVN neurons. Subsequently, the signals were transmitted to the sympathetic nerve via the downstream nerve fibers to regulate cardiac activities, thus achieving the antimyocardial ischemia effect of electroacupuncture.
