After years of studying the effects of near-infrared light on veterans with PTSD or traumatic brain injuries, a team led by UTA bioengineering Professor Hanli Liu published groundbreaking research in Nature’s Scientific Reports that could result in an effective, long-term treatment for brain disorders.
The team not only investigated the brain-imaging capability of light, but also revealed the therapeutic rationale for potentially improving the cognitive functions of patients with PTSD.
“Dr. Liu has made incredible strides in identifying how the brain is affected by trauma, as well as how to treat disorders such as PTSD noninvasively with light,” says bioengineering Chair Michael Cho. “This is truly innovative, groundbreaking research, and the results are a testament to Liu and the input of her collaborators.”
