Illuminating Neuroplasticity: A Deep Dive Into Vielight Technology

The brain is a fascinating and mysterious organ. From emotional regulation to the involuntary rhythm of breath, our brain regulates and oversees every aspect of our lives. Perhaps one of the most incredible superpowers of the human brain is that it can, under some circumstances, repair itself when damage occurs. This self-repair process in the brain is known as neuroplasticity, and its positive downstream impacts can go beyond mere anatomical damage. For people struggling with mental health issues, neuroplasticity can rewire the brain, transforming negative thought patterns into positive ones. Vielight is a near-infrared (NIR) light technology built to encourage this process of self-repair in the brain, providing relief from various mental health challenges. Learning more about neuroplasticity and Vielight technology can help you determine if this therapy methodology might be right for you. 

What Is Neuroplasticity?

The brain's ability to adapt and rewire itself is called neuroplasticity. This adaptation and rewiring process can occur in a variety of ways. Learning new things, having new experiences, and participating in novel activities can all encourage neuroplasticity. We all experience some degree of neuroplasticity in our day-to-day lives without realizing it's occurring. 

However, there are instances when intentionally changing or rewiring your brain would be beneficial. Examples include neurological events such as strokes or physical impact on the brain, like car accidents. For people who struggle with mental health issues, neuroplasticity can even help reframe the way they experience the world. 

There are two types of neuroplasticity: structural and functional. Structural neuroplasticity creates pathways in the brain as part of learning. In contrast, functional neuroplasticity creates workarounds within the brain in response to damage, such as after a stroke or accident. 

New activities and experiences are among the brain's ways to develop these new pathways. But you can also leverage new technologies, such as Vielight, to encourage neuroplasticity in the brain. 

What Is the Science of Neuroplasticity?

Neuroplasticity is the science of how the nervous system changes the structures and pathways in the brain in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli. This process involves nerve cells changing, inspiring them to form new connections with other nerve cells called synapses. 

Research proves that the brain can change and reform over your lifespan. It can create new neuropathways and bypass damaged areas of the brain. Some neuroplasticity creates positive changes, while other inputs can create neutral or negative changes. 

Most people experience neuroplasticity by learning new skills and participating in novel activities. However, there are times when you might actively want the brain to change its structure, such as after an accident, cognitive function issues, and more. 

Vielight's Approach to Enhanced Neuroplasticity

Vielight technology encourages the pathways in your brain to change and adapt by exposing neurons to specific wavelengths of light. This technology interacts with neurons through pulsating patterns of light to increase brain metabolism and encourage structural adaptation. 

When nerve cells are exposed to light waves, a biological reaction occurs. This reaction can cause them to grow, reach out to other nearby nerve cells, and form new synapses. Vielight uses near-infrared light at a wavelength of 810nm because it can pass through the barrier of our skulls to reach and interact with neurons in our brains. 

NIR light activates mitochondria in the cells, causing them to become more active and change. As a result of cellular change, neural response patterns change in kind, becoming more effective at processing information. Hardwired, habitual neural response patterns become more malleable and, thus, more responsive to stimuli. These patterns become more plastic, triggering the process of neuroplasticity. Thanks to the brain's metabolism, changes continue to occur even after the Vielight treatment ends. 

Clinical Applications and Evidence

Research-backed results show that Vielight technology and neuroplasticity can help you achieve therapeutic results and increase your mental health recovery prospects. Neuroplasticity markers proliferate, and new pathways form as a result. 

Cognitive performance studies show that people can quickly remember things and speak more clearly. Brain function metrics improve in the areas that need it most. 

Vielight neuroplasticity can help minimize the effects of age-related cognitive decline, improve signs of decline that have already occurred, and hasten recovery from brain injury. Enhanced learning abilities and the neuroplasticity it can foster are other proven benefits of Vielight technology.
