Table 2.

Regions showed significantly increased resting-state functional connectivity between the amygdala and other brain regions after acupuncture treatment and sham treatment, controlling for age as a covariate (voxel-wise, p < 0.005, uncorrected; cluster –wise, p < 0.05, FWE corrected). Abbreviations: AUC, acupuncture; sgACC, subgenual anterior cingulate cortex; pgACC, pregenual anterior cingulate cortex; Para, parahippocampus; Pu, putamen.
