Preventing traumatic stress–induced behavioral abnormalities in rats with blue light phototherapy
Blue light phototherapy produced distinct behavioral and molecular signatures in a rat model of traumatic stress. Immediate post-trauma intervention showed stronger associations with fear-related outcomes, supporting the potential relevance of early light-based interventions as a non-invasive adjunctive strategy for traumatic stress management.
