n our study, we found electroacupuncturing at Shenmen and Neiguan points could cause wide-ranged changes in the resting brain activities and functional connection in both controls and chronic partial sleep deprivation (CPSD) group
(A)Pre-acupunctured differences of function connectivity between CPSD and HC groups. (B)The Pre- and post-acupunctured difference of functional connectivity in HC group. (C)The Pre- and post-acupunctured difference of functional connectivity in CPSD group. The red globule is the seed point and the blue globule is the region in functional connection to the seed point. The solid red line represents the enhanced connection, and the dotted red line represents the reduced connection strengt
Correlation between scores of the ANT task and ALFF and ReHo of CPSD group before acupuncture. (A) The ALFF value of the right parahippoclial gyrus was positively correlated with the accuracy of ANT task (r=0.637, P= 0.001) and negatively correlated with the omission rate (r=-0.427, P=0.047). (B) The ReHo value of the right superior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with the reaction time in ANT task (r= -0.514P =0.014).
