Many in the research community realised the model was wrong a long time ago. This is a great read about the reasons why: 'How not to study a disease: the story of Alzheimer’s.' by Karl Herrup.
A small number of readily measured physiological traits may be used clinically to evaluate therapeutics designed to slow aging and extend healthy life. Playing computer games associates with slower ageing.
Thanks for clarifying. I didn't appreciate that it only searches abstracts. That might explain some of the missing references. Anyway, great work, will look forward to using it more.
I tried this with a question for an area I know well. It's pretty impressive but missed some key references.
I'd love to see limitations like this quantified and clearly flagged. Otherwise there's a danger that people may the assume results are definitive, and this could have the opposite outcome to that intended (much time spent working on something only to disocver it's been done already).
Yes, that is overly cyncial. The last 10 years or so has seen big leaps in our understanding of the fundamentals of sleep mechanisms. I think there's a long way to go, but we know enough that genuinely science-based advice can help a lot of people.
