Potential for Transcranial Laser or LED Therapy to Treat Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Neurodegenerative Disease
Near-infrared (NIR) light passes readily through the scalp and skull and a small percentage of incident power density can arrive at the cortical surface in humans.1 The primary photoreceptors for red and NIR light are mitochondria, and cortical neurons are exceptionally rich in mitochondria. It is l...
