What is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation(PBM) therapy is defined as the utilization of non-ionizing electromagnetic energy to trigger photochemical changes within cellular structures that are receptive to photons. Mitochondria is particularly receptive to this process. At the cellular level, visible red and near infrared light (NIR) energy are absorbed by mitochondria, which perform the function of producing cellular energy called ATP.The key to this entire process is a mitochondrial enzyme called cytochrome oxidase c, a chromophore, which accepts photonic energy of specific wavelengths when functioning below par.
Brain Photobiomodulation
Cytochrome C oxidase (CCO, also known as complex IV) is a specific structure in mitochondria that ACTS as a photon receptor and thus plays the PBM effect.PBM prevents respiratory inhibition (and correspondingly reduces energy storage) in stress cells by isolating nitric oxide (NO) and reversing the shift of oxygen in cytochrome C oxidase.This triggers transcription factors that alter gene expression levels.The binding of nitric oxide (NO) to copper (or heme) centers in the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) inhibits cell respiration.But cytochrome C oxidase, which absorbs red or near-infrared (NIR) light, dissociates nitric oxide, restoring oxygen, increasing cellular respiration, and forming adenosine triphosphate (ATP).This triggers a cascadeof intracellular reactions involving nitric oxide, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cyclic adenosine phosphate (cAMP) that produce beneficial effects of PBM.

Applications
Cognitive Enhancement:
Memory and Learning: Studies suggest that 810nm light can support memory formation and cognitive functions by promoting neuroplasticity and synaptic plasticity.
Mental Clarity: It may improve focus and mental clarity by optimizing brain function and reducing fatigue.
Mood and Mental Health:
Depression and Anxiety: By modulating neurotransmitter levels and reducing inflammation, 810nm light therapy might help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Mood Stabilization: It can contribute to better emotional regulation and overall mood improvement.
Bipolar:High-frequency stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex can effectively alleviate symptoms of bipolar depression and improve manifestations such as depressed mood, loss of interest, and self-blame.
Schizophrenia:It can alleviate auditory hallucinations to some extent.
PTSD:After alleviating intrusive symptoms and anxiety, patients' fear of trauma-related stimuli decreases, and avoidance behaviors may decrease accordingly.
Insomnia:By regulating neural activity and neurotransmitter balance in the aforementioned brain regions using pulsed magnetic fields, sleep can be improved.
Neuroprotection and Healing:
Traumatic Brain Injury: It is used as a supportive treatment for brain injuries, helping to reduce inflammation and promote recovery.
Neurodegenerative Diseases: It can improve the conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, focusing on slowing disease progression and protecting brain cells.
Performance and Recovery:
Cognitive Performance: Athletes and individuals seeking to enhance mental performance may use 810nm light therapy for better focus, reduced mental fatigue, and improved cognitive functions.
Recovery: It can aid in quicker recovery from brain fatigue or minor injuries by accelerating cellular repair processes.
