Somatopic Organization

The organization of auricular points follows nerves-to-function mapping by the brain onto the reflex zones of the outer ear.

CAPTIONS | Figure 1: Somatotopic organization on the ear as originally mapped by Dr. Paul Nogier et al.; Figure 2: fMRI imaging from auricular reflex studies by Marco Romoli published 2014 in the Springer Journal of Neurological Sciences. This study, as well as fMRI studies by David Alimi, show the specificity of auricular acupoints.

Examples of Auricular Somatotopy

Musculoskeletal System

Following the concept of the inverted fetus introduced by Paul Nogier in the 1950s, Nogier’s work established detailed auricular localizations published by researchers and clinicians such as Drs. Oleson, Alimi, Nogier, et al.

Structures of the Vertebral Column

The sympathetic trunk, nervous control points of the endocrine glands, intervertebral disks, vertebrae, vertebral joints, paravertebral muscles and ligaments, and spinal cord as based on the work of Drs. Strittmatter, Nogier and Bahr.

And more...

Beyond myriad evidence-based point localizations, advancing ear charts, such as “The New Ear Acupunture” by Dr. Frank Bahr, comprehensively explore the deep potential of somatotopic mapping.
