From: Acupoint specificity on acupuncture regulation of hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal cortex axis function

Figure 3

Demonstrated the activation effect of acupuncture at 33 acupoints of different regions on the excitatory CRH-like neurons in PVN among 33 acupoints. The abscissa represented the increasing percentage of the excitatory CRH-like neurons after different acupoints stimulation compared with the spontaneous discharges The acupoints of three Yin (Supine) and three Yang (Prone) Channels of Foot showed at upper left, the acupoints of three Yin (Supine) and three Yang (Prone) Channels of Hand showed at upper right, the acupoints of Du (Prone) Channel and Ren (Supine) Channel showed at lower left, the acupoints of ACR, hand and face showed at lower right.
