About
Dr. Bong Hyo Lee is a leading researcher in acupuncture neuroscience, whose work has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of how acupuncture exerts its therapeutic effects. His key research areas focus on the neuroanatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying acupuncture, particularly the role of peripheral sensory nerves. Dr. Lee’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2019 study, which provided compelling evidence that peripheral sensory nerve tissue—not connective tissue—is the primary initiator of acupuncture’s actions. This finding resolved a long-standing debate in the field and has had a profound impact, earning 31 citations and guiding subsequent investigations into neural pathways. By clarifying the biological basis of acupuncture, Dr. Lee has bridged traditional medicine with modern neuroscience, offering a clear mechanistic framework for clinical applications. His work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring integrative medicine, neurostimulation, and the scientific validation of ancient therapeutic practices. Dr. Lee’s rigorous experimental design and clear conclusions continue to influence both basic science and translational research in acupuncture.
