1. A method for enhancing axonal transport in an impaired neuron, the method comprising:

  • providing a low level light therapy (LLLT) device, wherein said LLLT device has a light emitting surface that emits light energy;

    identifying one or more neurons having impaired axonal transport; and

    delivering light energy to said one or more neurons,wherein the light energy has a wavelength between 800 nm and 815 nm,wherein the light energy has an irradiance at the light emitting surface of about 1400 mW/cm2 to about 4200 mW/cm2, andwherein the light energy enhances one or more of the velocity of axonal transport, the average distance of axonal transport, and the total distance of axonal transport, thereby enhancing axonal transport of said one or more neurons.
