**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** Near-infrared (NIR) light therapy operates through a sophisticated molecular cascade that begins with photon absorption by cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal enzyme complex of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The COX4I1 gene encodes the COX4-1 subunit, a critical regulatory component that determines the enzyme's efficiency and response to cellular energy demands. When NIR light at wavelengths between 810-850 nm penetrates neural tissue, it ...
