Abstract
⺠Acupuncture needling sensation correlates negatively with subjects' heart rate. ⺠Cortical and brainstem activations indicate that acupuncture elicits deep pain. ⺠The heart rate response is an autonomic concomitant of the deep pain stimulation. ⺠It is mediated by a network of prefrontal areas, hypothalamic and brainstem centers.
