Neural mechanism of gastric motility regulation by electroacupuncture at RN12 and BL21: A paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus-dorsal vagal complex-vagus nerve-gastric channel pathway

Figure 2 Recording of extracellular neuron firing activity in the dorsal vagal complex. A: Representative rat neuronal firing pattern in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) induced by stimulating RN12 and BL21; B: Summarized data for neuronal firing activity by electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation at RN12 and BL21 in DVC (^bP < 0.01 vs the MOD group; ^dP < 0.01 vs the RN12 + BL21 group); C: DVC coordinates: the anatomic location of the DVC and the rat brain in stereotaxic coordinates were adapted from the atlas of Paxinos and Watson.
