What is the connection between Auricular laser therapy and dopamine secretion?
The ear is supplied by four nerves, which originate in the brain stem. These nerves are called cranial nerves and provide very important connections between the brain and the organs on the outside of the skull (ears, nose, eyes, skin, etc.) as well as organs on the inside of the skull (tongue, inner ear, soft palate, etc.). When the nerve endings are stimulated in the ear, the stimulation travels down the nerve and affects the brain at the origin of the nerve deep within the brain stem.
