Electroacupuncture Improves IBS Visceral Hypersensitivity by Inhibiting the Activation of Astrocytes in the Medial Thalamus and Anterior Cingulate Cortex

<div>Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) shows that the activation degree of the thalamus (THAL) and ACC in patients is higher than that in normal subjects (cited from Mertz (H) Gastroenterology.2000 [<a href="/journals/ecam/2020/2562979/#B6">6</a>]).</div>
