Lights on for the Nervous System: Exploring the Effects of Photobiomodulation: Part A, Volume 187 in the International Review of Neurobiology series, highlights new advances in understanding how light interacts with the human body and brain. This comprehensive volume presents chapters written by an international board of authors, covering the history and theory of therapeutic light use, the underlying mechanisms of light–cell interactions, and the systemic effects of light exposure. It explores cognitive enhancement, sleep regulation, and microbiome modulation, as well as the potential of light-based interventions for neurodegenerative disorders, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, depression, and retinal diseases.
Specific sections cover History of Humans Using Light, Theory of Light: Why Should It Work, Mechanisms of Light, Systemic Effects of Light, Light Application and Dosage, How Does Light Affect Brain Activity, Light Talks: The Role of Biophoton in Cellular Communication, Biophotons: Communication with Light, Light Effects on Brain Activity: Simulations/Dynamic Function, Cognitive Enhancement through Transcranial Infrared Laser Stimulation: Insights from Research, Light Effects on the Microbiome, Lights On for Sleep, Exploring the Effect of Red and Near Infrared Light on Neurodegenerative Disease, Light Effects on Parkinson's Disease: Intracranial Application, Light Effects on Parkinson's Disease: Transcranial Application, and much more.
