Role of Hypothalamus in Acupuncture’s Effects by Ryan Bae, Hyung Kyu Kim, Baoji Lu, Jing Ma, Juping Xing, Hee Young Kim

“…Among the brain regions, the hypothalamus, a small yet critical region in the brain, plays a pivotal role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating a wide array of physiological processes, including stress responses, energy balance, and pain modulation. Emerging evidence suggests that acupuncture may exert its therapeutic effects by modulating the activity of the hypothalamus and its associated neural circuits, particularly in relation to pain, stress, and metabolic regulation. …”
