🧠 Shining Light on the Brain explores one of the most transformative breakthroughs in modern neuroscience — how light can heal, energize, and rewire the human brain. In this episode, Dr. Scott Haggerty breaks down landmark studies in Photobiomodulation (PBM), including Hamblin’s 2016 Harvard review and Gonzalez-Lima’s 2013 human trial, revealing how near-infrared light can restore brain energy, improve focus and mood, and accelerate recovery from injury and stress. ✨ You’ll learn: How red and near-infrared light stimulate mitochondrial repair and neuroplasticity Key research on PBM for TBI, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, and anxiety Real-world dosing and clinical applications using Class IV laser systems How Brain Laser Therapy integrates with chiropractic, neuro-rehab, and emotional regulation 🔬 Why it matters: This isn’t theory — it’s clinical neuroscience in action. Light recharges the brain, balances the nervous system, and empowers healing at the cellular level.

🌈✨ Can Light Change the Autistic Brain? Study Says YES! 🧠 Research Spotlight: Leisman & Machado (2018) This groundbreaking study explored how transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM)—aka Brain Laser Therapy—can help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improve social interaction, focus, and brain connectivity. 🔬 Here’s what they found:➡️ After a series of near-infrared light sessions targeting the prefrontal cortex, kids showed measurable improvements in executive function, emotion regulation, and social responsiveness.➡️ Brain scans revealed better network synchronization—meaning the brain’s “Wi-Fi” was connecting more smoothly between regions.➡️ Parents and clinicians noticed real-world changes: calmer moods, better attention, improved eye contact, and greater engagement. 💡 This aligns beautifully with what we’re seeing clinically using Class IV laser systems (like the Summus Horizon). When we activate mitochondria and modulate neural networks, we’re literally helping the brain reorganize itself for better function! 🗣️ Let’s Talk: - Have you seen similar changes in your patients after Brain Laser Therapy? - What regions do you find most effective to target first (frontal vs. cerebellum vs. temporal)? - Do you pair tPBM with other neurorehab tools (BrainTap, Apollo, chiropractic, etc.)?
