Overlap between the LPNN deactivation network in acupuncture by GLM analysis show virtually identical patterns with the DMN. The cortico-limbic response in the MPFC (1), PMPC (2), RSC (3) MTL (4) and cerebellar vermis converge with each other. Synthesis of the regions of correlated deactivation exhibits a view that is remarkably similar to the DMN described for the human brain (Schulman et al 1977). p < 0.0001. 3-D views of brain surface and a coronal section through the anterior commissure during acupuncture at right LI4, ST36 and LV3 on 37 subjects exhibit extensive deactivation of the prefrontal, posterior parietal and temporal lobes (encoded in blue) coupled with moderate activation of the sensorimotor cortices and thalamus (encoded in red).
