Which part of the ear relates to conditions affecting the brain and causes vertigo?

The antitragus is the part of the ear associated with conditions affecting the brain, particularly those that can lead to symptoms such as vertigo. In auricular acupuncture, specific points on the ear correspond to various parts of the body, and the antitragus has been linked to the central nervous system including the brain.

When treatments are applied to the antitragus, it is believed to potentially influence issues related to balance and sensory processing, which can manifest as dizziness or vertigo. This understanding is grounded in both traditional concepts of acupuncture, where the ear is seen as a microsystem of the body, and more contemporary interpretations that recognize the ear's anatomical and physiological relevance to brain-related functions.

The other regions mentioned do not have this specific association with brain function and vertigo. The lobule, scapha, and cymba conchae have different roles or correspondence in auricular theory and do not directly relate to the conditions affecting the brain that lead to vertigo.
