Photobiomodulation of the Brain

From Mitochondrial Bioenergetics to Precision Brain MedicineCan light help preserve brain health, restore neurological function and shape the future of precision medicine?Over the past decade, brain photobiomodulation has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in neuroscience. Once considered an experimental technology, it is now supported by a rapidly growing body of experimental and clinical evidence demonstrating its potential to modulate mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, cerebral perfusion and functional brain networks.This book offers far more than a review of the literature.It proposes an integrated vision of Precision Brain Medicine, bringing together photobiology, neuroscience, neurology, bioenergetics, neuroimaging, artificial intelligence and personalized medicine within a single conceptual framework.Covering both medical applications and the emerging field of Brain Health and Wellness, this volume explores the entire continuum—from prevention and cognitive optimization to neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders and neurorehabilitation.Richly illustrated with original conceptual figures, practical clinical guidance and evidence-based recommendations, this handbook is intended for neurologists, psychiatrists, rehabilitation specialists, neuroscientists, physicians, engineers and all healthcare professionals interested in the future of non-invasive brain therapies.More than a textbook, this volume is an invitation to rethink how light may contribute to protecting, restoring and enhancing one of the most extraordinary organs of the human body.  (664p)
