fMRI with simultaneous EAS
SEPARATION
In ICA analysis, six networks included the right and left executive control networks (RECN and LECN) (Glass et al., Resting‐state networks used in the time point separation analysis, which were identified by spatial ICA. The IC maps were spatially In full factorial analysis, through the stimulation of placebo needles in Group 1, and excluding the stimulation of inserting needles in Group 2, the interaction results between Group 2 with electrical stimulation and Group 1 without electrical stimulation was the following: The brain FC of the right frontal middle gyrus (MFG.R) within the RECN was increased and that in the right middle temporal gyrus (MTG.R) and right superior frontal gyrus (SFG.R) was decreased in Group 2 with electrical stimulation compared to Group 1 without electrical stimulation (Table The interactive results of the full factorial fMRI test between the sham and verum acupuncture groupsAbbreviations: L, left; R, right.Differences in functional connectivity (FC) in the RECN, LECN, DMN, AN, and SMN (a–e) (
