Suppressive effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on the evoked neural discharges of caudalis neurons. (A) Acupuncture (Acu) and moxibustion (Mox) stimuli were applied to the hindpaw during pinch-evoked discharges from trigeminal receptive fields. (B) Averaged histograms of spike frequency of 17 caudalis neurons (mean ± standard deviation). Histograms 1–2, 3–4 and 5–6 indicate the mean discharges before, during and after conditioning stimuli, respectively. [Modified from (31) Jpn J Physiol, 2000].
