Caption

 (A) Experimental schematic diagram. (B to D) PBM therapy apparatus (C) including a touchscreen control (B) and a lens (D). (E) The rats were fixed in a stereotaxic apparatus during PBM therapy. (F) Schematic illustration of the lens placed outside the skull, above the brain. The red box delineates the proposed treatment area. (G) Temperature: Surface temperature of the irradiated area of the rat brain before and after phototherapy. The surface temperatures of the irradiated area in the rat brain, measured at wavelengths of 638, 755, and 808 nm, showed no significant difference compared to pre-irradiation levels.
