Plain-language verified summary
Question
C57BL/6J mice were purchased from the Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.
Methods
Although, the effectiveness and specific underlying mechanisms of light stimulation remain subjects of ongoing debate,[ 14 ] several potential mechanisms have been demonstrated, including the enhancement of hippocampal synaptic strength,[ 9 ] promotion of glymphatic contraction for the clearance of toxic materials,[ 7 ] activation of microglia,[ 6 ] modulation of the circadian clock,[ 15 ] and the activation of specific neurochemical mediators, such as adenosine.[ 10 , 16 ]
Scale or participants
Another critical mechanism for enhancing cognition in the adult brain is neurogenesis, which has not been thoroughly explored in the context of light stimulation.
Key findings
Rhythmic light flicker alleviates cognitive impairments in various animal models of neurological diseases.
Limitations and uncertainty
