Objective Accumulated data show that the mechanisms of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) analgesia involve the activation of endogenous opioid antinociceptive systems and the μ-opioid receptors (MORs) in the central nervous system (CNS).Positronemission tomography (PET) is the only real time in vivo method available today to study μ-opioid receptor function.In this study we investigated the different effects of low and high frequency TEAS on MOR binding potential of the brains in rhesus monkeys.Methods PET with 1 1C-carfentanil was performed three times randomly under TEAS of 0 Hz, 2 Hz or 100 Hz respectively in each monkey separated by at least 2 weeks.TEAS was administered in the middle 30 min during the 95 min PET scan.PET images were reconstructed in 3D OSEM mode.The distribution volume of three stages (before, during and after TEAS) were calculated using Logan plot with an online arterial radiocounting as input function and were analyzed using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM).Results 2 Hz TEAS evoked an increases in MOR binding potential in multiple pain and sensory processing brain regions including the dorsal cingulated cortex, caudate nucleus, putamen, temporal lobe, somatosensory cortex and amygdale during the TEAS compared with that of 0 Hz TEAS.The effect remained after TEAS in genual anterior cingulate cortex and temporal lobe.No increase in MOR binding potential was found during and after the 100 Hz TEAS compared with 0 Hz TEAS.Conclusion The increases of μ-opioid receptor binding potential in multiple pain and sensory processing brain regions may play a role in mediating the effect of low, but not high frequency TEAS.

背景 亮度是视觉系统接收的最基本的信息,对亮度信息的检测是视觉系统处理其它信息的基础。初级视皮层(V1)神经元对刺激的对比度、朝向、方向、空间频率等的反应性质已有大量深入的研究,在成年动物这些反应性质是不变的,如对特定边界的反应具有稳定的朝向选择性。然而,V1神经元对亮度的反应性质只有很少的研究。在视觉环境整体亮度发生变化,如从明亮的环境走进暗的环境时,V1神经元怎样检测物体的亮度仍然不知道。方法
