810-nm Photobiomodulation Evokes Glutamate Release in Normal and Rotenone-Dysfunctional Cortical Nerve Terminals by Modulating Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism by Silvia Ravera, Elisa Farsetti, Guido Maura, Manuela Marcoli, Matteo Bozzo, Chiara Cervetto, Andrea Amaroli

“…This allowed us to observe that the glutamate efflux, disrupted in the presence of rotenone, was partially restored by PBM due to the increase in the OxPhos pathway led by Complex II. This evidence suggests that PBM, acting on mitochondria, could facilitate physiological communication within the neuron-astrocyte network through vesicular glutamate release, potentially regulating healthy brain function and brain dysfunction.…”
