| Location |
| Found at the base of the concha wall on the vertical section which lies behind the antitragus. One follows a vertical ridge on the concha wall that descends from the apex of the antitragus at LM_13 down to the concha floor at LM_21. The primary thalamus point that regulates sensory information going to the cerebral cortex, regulates general arousal activated by the reticular formation, and is the highest neurological level of the gate control system for pain. In the Nogier phase system, the Phase I Thalamus is found on the front surface of the antitragus, the Phase II Thalamus is located in the triangular fossa region near the Shen Men point, and the Phase III Thalamus is located behind the antitragus, where Nogier’s Point du Thalamus was previously identified at LM_21.[37] |

| Energetics 1 |
| It represents the whole diencephalon of the brain, including the thalamus and the hypothalamus. It affects the relay of sensory information to the cerebral cortex and modulates hypothalamic regulation of autonomic nerves and endocrine glands. The Thalamus is like a preamplifier for signals sent to the cerebral cortex, organizing the neural message and eliminating meaningless background noise. The Thalamus balances overexcitation of cortical neurons by the inhibition of those cortical neurons. [37] |

| The Thalamus is the highest level of the supraspinal gate control system. It is used for alleviating most pain disorders, both acute and chronic. It is used in the treatment of neurasthenia, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, overexcitement, sweating, swelling, shock, hypertension, coronary disorders, cardiac arrhythmias, Raynaud’s disease, gastritis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, liver disorders, and gall bladder dysfunctions.
