The Athletic / NYT Clinical Context: Former NFL linebacker Larry Carr experienced drastic emotional decline, severe explosive anger, and paranoia linked to chronic head impacts. Daily transcranial near-infrared (810nm-850nm) therapy stimulates mitochondrial ATP restoration and neurovascular remodeling, fostering emotional regulation and memory re-consolidation.
