Course Description
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can disrupt neural networks and cellular processes critical for brain function. In this ISCN lecture, Dr. Matthew Antonucci explores the emerging field of trans-cranial low-level light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, as a potential approach for supporting neurological recovery. The session examines how specific wavelengths of light may influence cellular processes such as mitochondrial activity and metabolic function within neural tissue. Participants will learn how light-based therapies are being studied for their potential role in promoting neural repair and supporting recovery following brain injury. The lecture also reviews research investigating how photobiomodulation may influence neuroplasticity and neurological function. By examining the interaction between light energy and brain physiology, this session highlights how innovative therapeutic technologies are being explored to support rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury.
