Electroacupuncture at ST36 modulates gastric motility via vagovagal and sympathetic reflexes in rats

Figure 4 Effect of electroacupuncture at ST36 on neurons in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve. A: Number of dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve (DMV) neuron responses during electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36; B: Discharge frequency of DMV neurons; ^aP < 0.05 compared with pre-EA; C: Waveform of DMV neuron discharge by EA at ST36; D: Location of the DMV (D1-D2, location of the DMV; D2, location of injected Pontamine sky blue in the DMV). EA: Electroacupuncture; DMV: Dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve.
