Expression of c-fos in the nucleus of the solitary tract following electroacupuncture at facial acupoints and gastric distension in rats.

abstract：:In 16 rats, the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) - a fast muscle - was grafted, complete with its innervation, into the bed of the (removed) soleus - a slow muscle. Following the transposition, performed on one side only, EDL recovered and showed the contraction time of the contralateral EDL that served as control. How...
