Summary
This study tests a safe, low-cost light therapy (near-infrared photobiomodulation) to see if it can improve memory and brain function in 168 older adults at higher risk for Alzheimer's disease. Participants receive either real or sham light treatment for 12 weeks, and researchers measure changes in thinking skills and brain scans. The goal is to find a simple way to slow cognitive decline and protect the brain.
