Light therapy Could Help To Improve The Symptoms Of Dementia

A team of researchers has earlier described that a type of light therapy could potentially lessen toxic proteins that build up in the brain in Alzheimer’s disorder. Now, the same team of researchers has recognized what occurs at the cell level to obtain this outcome. The study revealed that light therapy can enhance memory in mice genetically predisposed to develop Alzheimer’s disease and spatial memory in older mice without the disease. Researchers now believe that the findings clearly suggest that light therapy enhanced the capability of microglia to deal with inflammation.
