Photobiomodulation (PBM), utilizing the low power light in visible or near-infrared (NIR) spectrum to trigger biological responses in the cells and tissues, has been considered as a possible therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), while its specific mechanism has remained elusive. Here, we provide evidences that the cognition and memory impairment of AD mouse model can be ameliorated by 1070-nm light via reducing cerebral Aβ burden, the hallmark of AD. Our study suggests the important roles of microglia and cerebral vessels in the treatment of 1070-nm light to AD mice, and provide a framework for developing novel therapeutic approach for AD.
