The activation of astrocytes in the hippocampus after kainic acid (KA) administration. KA upregulated GFAP activation in the hippocampus, whereas acupuncture stimulation at HT8 prevented this activation. Saline: the saline-injected control group; KA: the KA-injected group; KA + HT8, the acupuncture at HT8 with KA injection group; and KA + ST36: the acupuncture at ST36 with KA injection group. Scale bar represents 50 μm. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05 versus the saline group. # P < 0.05 versus the KA group. $ P < 0.05 versus the KA + HT8 group.
