The book discusses how they use both trans-cranial LLLT, as well as shining the laser on the back of the neck, which they think provides benefit to more than just the neck by somehow "boosting" cerebral-spinal fluid (at least that's their working hypothesis). I'd have to re-read to get the specifics, but it was something along those lines.

Given that I live 4 hours away, he suggested I come in for a week-10 days of daily treatment with the lasers they have there, and then they'd send me back with a unit I'd rent that I use daily. I haven't decided yet if I want to pursue this, but might be able to stay in Toronto for a week between semesters. This daily use unit sounds similar to what a couple of TBI patients in a case study of LLLT used.

Apparently it improved their cognitive symptoms, but if they discontinued use they would regress. Not sure if this is what's seen in all cases.
