Figure 5. — Brain responses evoked by real acupuncture and VGAIT were related to their analgesic effects. (a) For real acupuncture, BOLD responses in the left insula were related to changes in pressure pain threshold on the leg (left panel), while in the bilateral insula were related to changes of pressure pain threshold in the thumbnail (right panel). (b) For VGAIT, BOLD deactivations in the rACC were related to changes of pressure pain threshold in the leg (left panel) and thumbnail (right panel).
