Effect of acupuncture (Acu) on electrically stimulated dopamine (DA) release in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). (a1) Schematic of fast-scan cyclic voltammetry for recording of NAc DA release. (a2) Representative trace (upper) and pseudo-color plots (lower) triggered by electrical stimulation of the NAc before [control (Con)] and after METH injection (METH) in normal (left) or acupuncture-treated rat (right). (a3) Insets show cyclic volt-ammograms from peaks of representative traces. (b) Effect of acupuncture at HT7 on electrically stimulated DA release in METH-treated rats. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean. METH, METH-treated rats; METH + HT7, acupuncture at HT7 in METH-treated rats. *P < 0.05 versus METH. N value is 5–6 per group. MFB = medial forebrain bundle; Stim = stimulation; VTA = ventral tegmental area
