Transcranial photobiomodulation attenuates pentylenetetrazole-induced status epilepticus in peripubertal rats

Convulsive status epilepticus is the most common neurological emergency in children. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) reverses elevated rodent neurotransmitters after status...

Repetitive transcranial photobiomodulation but not long-term omega-3 intake reduces epileptiform discharges in rats with stroke-induced epilepsy

Epilepsy is a yet under-recognized consequence after a stroke and nearly 30% of cases are pharmacoresistant. There is an unmet...

Transcranial photobiomodulation (808 nm) attenuates pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures by suppressing hippocampal neuroinflammation, astrogliosis, and microgliosis in peripubertal rats

Significance: Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) at 808 nm attenuates pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures and convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) in peripubertal rats by protecting...

Photobiomodulation regulates adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus in a status epilepticus animal model

Status epilepticus (SE) refers to a single seizure that lasts longer than typical seizures or a series of consecutive seizures....

Lights for epilepsy: can photobiomodulation reduce seizures and offer neuroprotection?

Epilepsy is synonymous with individuals suffering repeated "fits" or seizures. The seizures are triggered by bursts of abnormal neuronal activity,...

Photobiomodulation improves the synapses and cognitive function and ameliorates epileptic seizure by inhibiting downregulation of Nlgn3

Background: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) remains one of the most drug-resistant focal epilepsies. Glutamate excitotoxicity and neuroinflammation which leads to loss...

Pulsed Near Infrared Transcranial and Intranasal Photobiomodulation Significantly Modulates Neural Oscillations: a pilot exploratory study

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is the application of low levels of red or near-infrared (NIR) light to stimulate neural tissues. Here,...
