Effect of EA stimulus on the expression of α7nAChR. a Compared with sham group, the cerebral I/R injury decreased the contents of α7nAChR. Meanwhile, the EA up-regulated the contents of α7nAChR compared with MCAO group. *P < 0.05 vs. Sham group, ##P < 0.01 vs. MCAO group. b Representative immunofluorescent staining of α7nAChR, neuronal nuclei (NeuN), and nuclear marker DAPI. Cerebral I/R injury decreased the levels of α7nAChR-positive neurons compared with Sham group, while EA up-regulated the contents of α7nAChR-positive neurons when compared with MCAO group. Scale bar = 30 μm
