Stimulation of neurite growth under influence of broadband terahertz pulsed radiation

The question about the fundamental justification of the possibility of using terahertz (THz) radiation to influence biological systems, particularly the nervous system, is still open. Our research was devoted to the impact of broadband pulsed THz radiation in the frequency range of 0.05 to 1.20 THz on the neurite growth. We found that the changes in cell functional responses depend on the average output power.
