Comparison of the limbic-paralimbic-neocortical network (LPNN) during acupuncture deqi and the default mode network (DMN) as described in the literature (adapted from Shulman et al., 1997). Multiple sagittal slices through an averaged brain in Talairach space (Talairach and Tournoux, 1988) are shown for the LPNN, spanning both the right hemisphere (left) and the left hemisphere (right), with distance from midline shown in mm. Two brain surface renderings (Cox, 1996) are also shown in the lower left. An oblique view of the DMN is shown in the lower right.
