Abstract

Electroacupuncture (EA) has been shown to facilitate brain plasticity-related functional recovery following ischemic stroke. The functional magnetic resonance imaging technique can be used to determine the range and mode of brain activation. After stroke, EA has been shown to alter brain connectivity, whereas EA’s effect on brain network topology properties remains unclear. An evaluation of EA’s effects on global and nodal topological properties in rats with ischemia reperfusion was conducted in this study.
