Rhythmic muscle stimulation led to significant differences in connectivity associated with the autonomic and limbic systems such as the hypothalamus, amygdala, periaqueductal gray, thalamus, basal ganglia, plus insulae and cingulate cortices. In addition, the muscle stimulation led to changes in several resting state networks.
