Abstract
The growing prevalence of aged sleep-deprived nations is turning into a pandemic state. Acute sleep deprivation (SD) accompanies aging, changing the hippocampal cellular pattern, neurogenesis pathway expression, and aggravating cognitive deterioration. The present study investigated the ability of Near Infra Red (NIR) light laser to ameliorate cognitive impairment induced by SD in young and senile rats. Wistar rats ≤ 2 months (young) and ≥ 14 months (senile) were sleep-deprived for 72 h with or without transcranial administration of NIR laser of 830 nm. Our results showed that NIR photobiomodulation (PBM) attenuated cognitive deterioration made by SD in young, but not senile rats, while both sleep-deprived young and senile rats exhibited decreased anxiety (mania)-like behavior in response to PBM. NIR PBM had an inhibitory effect on AChE, enhanced the production of ACh, attenuated ROS, and regulated cell apoptosis factors such as Bax and Bcl-2. NIR increased mRNA expression of BDNF and GLP-1 in senile rats, thus facilitating neuronal survival and differentiation. The present findings also revealed that age exerts an additive factor to the cellular assaults produced by SD where hippocampal damages made in 2-month rats were less severe than those of the aged one. In conclusion, NIR PBM seems to promote cellular longevity of senile hippocampal cells by combating ROS, elevating neurotrophic factors, thus improving cognitive performance. The present findings provide NIR as a possible candidate for hippocampal neuronal insults accompanying aging and SD.

Abstract
Insufficient sleep is associated with impaired hypothalamic activity and declined attentional performance. In this study, alterations in the hypothalamus of REM sleep-deprived (SD) young and aged rats, and the modulatory effect of near-infrared (NIR) laser were investigated. Forty-eight male Wistar rats (24 young at 2 months and 24 senile at 14 months) were divided into three groups: the control, the SD group subjected to 72 hr of sleep deprivation, and the transcranial-NIR laser-treated (TLT) group subjected to SD for 72 hr and irradiated with 830 nm laser. The hypothalamic levels of oxidative stress, inflammatory biomarkers, antioxidant enzymes, mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), apoptotic markers (BAX, BCL-2), and neuronal survival-associated genes (BDNF, GLP-1) were evaluated. Furthermore, the hypothalamic tissue alterations were analyzed via histological examination. The results revealed that TLT treatment has enhanced the antioxidant status, prevented oxidative insults, suppressed neuroinflammation, regulated CCO activity, reduced apoptotic markers, and tuned the survival genes (BDNF & GLP-1) in hypothalamic tissue of SD young and aged rats. Microscopically, TLT treatment has ameliorated the SD-induced alterations and restored the normal histological features of hypothalamus tissue. Moreover, the obtained data showed that SD and NIR laser therapy are age-dependent. Altogether, our findings emphasize the age-dependent adverse effects of SD on the hypothalamus and suggest the use of low-laser NIR radiation as a potential non-invasive and therapeutic approach against SD-induced adverse effects in young and aged animals.

Abstract
Transcranial photobiomodulation refers to irradiation of the brain through the skull using low-intensity red or near-infrared light, which is the most commonly studied method of light energy biotherapy for central nervous system disorders. The absorption of photons by specific chromophores within the cell elevates ATP synthesis, reduces oxidative stress damage, alleviates inflammation or mediates the activation of transcription factors and signaling mediators through secondary mediators, which in turn trigger downstream signaling pathways to cause a series of photobiological effects including upregulation of neurotrophic factors. Multiple mechanisms are simultaneously involved in the pathological process of central nervous system disorders. The pleiotropic treatment of transcranial photobiomodulation towards multiple targets plays a beneficial role in improving hemodynamics, neural repair and improving behaviors in central nervous system disorders such as ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, epilepsy and depression. This review mainly introduces the mechanism and recent preclinical and clinical advances of transcranial photobiomodulation for central nervous system disorders, which will provide a reference for clinicians to understand and engage in related studies, and calls for more and larger studies to validate and develop a wider application of transcranial photobiomodulation in central nervous system.

Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM) of deep brain structures through transcranial infrared irradiation might be an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the mechanisms underlying this intervention should be elucidated to optimize the therapeutic outcome and maximize therapeutic efficacy. The present study aimed at investigating the oxidative stress-related parameters of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and reduced glutathione (GSH) and the enzymatic activities of sodium-potassium-ATPase (Na+, K+-ATPase), Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and monoamine oxidase (MAO) and monoamine levels (dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT) in the midbrain and striatum of reserpine-induced PD in an animal model treated with PBM. Furthermore, the locomotor behavior of the animals has been determined by the open field test. Animals were divided into three groups; the control group, the PD-induced model group, and the PD-induced model treated with the PBM group. Non-invasive treatment of animals for 14 days with 100 mW, 830 nm laser has demonstrated successful attainment in the recovery of oxidative stress, and enzymatic activities impairments induced by reserpine (0.2 mg/kg) in both midbrain and striatum of adult male Wistar rats. PBM also improved the decrease in DA, NE, and 5-HT in the investigated brain regions. On a behavioral level, animals showed improvement in their locomotion activity. These findings have shed more light on some mechanisms underlying the treatment potential of PBM and displayed the safety, easiness, and efficacy of PBM treatment as an alternative to pharmacological treatment for PD.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Incompletely treated major depressive disorder (MDD) poses an enormous global health burden. Conventional treatment for MDD consists of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, though a significant number of patients do not achieve remission with such treatments. Transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) is a promising novel therapy that uses extracranial light, especially in the near-infrared (NIR) and red spectra, for biological and therapeutic effects. The aims of this Review are to evaluate the current clinical and preclinical literature on t-PBM in MDD and to discuss candidate mechanisms for effects of t-PBM in MDD, with specific attention to biophotons and oxidative stress. A search on PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov identified clinical and preclinical studies using t-PBM for the treatment of MDD as a primary focus. After a systematic screening, only 19 studies containing original data were included in this review (9 clinical and 10 preclinical trials). Study results demonstrate consensus that t-PBM is a safe and potentially effective treatment; however, varying treatment parameters among studies complicate definitive conclusions about efficacy. Among other mechanisms of action, t-PBM stimulates the complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and induces an increase in cellular energy metabolism. We suggest that future trials include biological measures to better understand the mechanisms of action of t-PBM and to optimize treatment efficiency. Of particular interest going forward will be studying potential effects of t-PBM-an external light source on the NIR spectra-on neural circuitry implicated in depression.
