Scalp electroacupuncture targeting trigeminal nerve activation alleviates post‐traumatic stress disorder–induced depression and neuroinflammation in mice

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

Electroacupuncture reverses ethanol-induced locomotor sensitization and subsequent pERK expression in mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) plays a role in neuronal changes induced by repeated drug exposure. Given that electroacupuncture reverses locomotor sensitization induced by ethanol, we investigated whether this effect is parallel to ERK ...

Positional Relationship Between the Orbicularis Oculi and Zygomaticus Complex Muscles by Ultrasonography: New Anatomical Insights for Crow's Feet Injection

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Acupuncture alters cortical and corticomuscular functional connectivity in stroke patients with motor dysfunction

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of global mortality and disability, often resulting in severe motor dysfunction. Acupuncture has shown promise in stroke rehabilitation, but its neural mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the immediate effects of acupuncture at GV26, PC6, and SP6 on cortical and corticomuscular functional connectivity ...
