Effect of transcranial near-infrared photobiomodulation on cognitive outcomes in D-galactose/AlCl 3 induced brain aging in BALB/c mice

What the authors concluded

Behavioral results revealed that NIR PBM at fluencies of 16 and 8 J/cm2 could reduce D-gal/AlCl3 impaired social and spatial memories. Treatment with NIR attenuated neuroinflammation through down-regulation of TNF-α and IL-6. Additionally, NIR significantly inhibited the down-regulation of GAP-43 and SYN. The results indicate that transcranial PBM at the fluencies 16 and 8 J/cm2 effectively p

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 8 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
