Is activity in the primary somatosensory cortex induced by reflexological stimulation unaffected by pseudo-information : a functional magnetic resonance imaging study?
These findings suggest that a robust relationship exists between neural processing of somatosensory percepts for reflexological stimulation and the tactile sensation of a specific reflex area.
Taken together with the accelerating effect of BDNF on energy metabolism, these findings indicate that BDNF improves glucose and lipid metabolism in obese diabetic animals without enlarging liver or adipose tissues.
