Technology Overview

This technology introduces a non-invasive approach to stimulate dopamine release and neuromelanin production in the brain using a combination of short-wavelength blue light and flavones. Unlike traditional methods that rely on electrical stimulation, this technique leverages the natural auto-oxidation process of dopamine in the presence of light, flavones, and iron. Initially tested in rodents, it holds promise for treating conditions associated with dopamine deficiency.


Key Advantages

  • Non-invasive compared to electrical stimulation methods
  • Utilizes natural biochemical processes for neuromelanin and dopamine production
  • Offers a novel approach for treating dopamine-related disorders
  • Potential for broader application beyond Parkinson's and addiction treatment
  • Supported by preliminary research and a provisional patent

Problems Addressed

  • Limitations of current dopamine stimulation methods
  • Lack of non-invasive treatments for neuromelanin production enhancement
  • Challenges in treating dopamine-related conditions like Parkinson's and addiction

Market Applications

  • Treatment of Parkinson's disease
  • Therapies for addiction and other dopamine deficiency disorders
  • Research tools for studying dopamine and neuromelanin dynamics in the brain
