Acupuncture ameliorates spatial memory deficits in radial arm maze test. Sham: sham-operated group, 2VO + Acu: 2VO + acupuncture group, 2VO + Pla-acu: 2VO + placebo-acupuncture group, Sham + Acu: sham-operated + acupuncture group. (a) Total number of working memory errors across training. (b) The number of new entries (i.e., different arms chosen) in the first eight arm visits. (c) Number of omission errors, i.e., arm was visited but food was not taken, as an indication of motivation. (n = 6 rats for each group.)
