Electroacupuncture pretreatment enhances the calcium efflux activity of Na+/Ca2+ exchanger to attenuate cerebral injury by PI3K/Akt-mediated NCX1 upregulation after focal cerebral ischaemia

Heliyon
Electroacupuncture pretreatment is considered as an optimal strategy for inducing cerebral ischaemic tolerance. However, the underlying neuroprotective mechanism of this approach has never been explored from the perspective of calcium homeostasis ...

Differential roles of EA‐TRAPed cells in the anterior cingulate cortex across various intervention times in inflammatory pain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 329-343, February 2026.
The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract
