    Very clear and compelling discussion of brain cell function, importance of sleep, and dementia. Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to more information about Aquaporin 4 and possible cures. Nicely video'd also, although if I could make one tiny suggestion: Your camera setup breaks the '180 degree rule' which says the camera should not cross the imaginary line between two characters. It's a bit startling when your camera shot 'crosses the line' for the wide shot from each closeup, the interviewees switch sides.

    Yes, I agree, if you are lazy and use a dishwasher, you probably are also addicted to sugar and carbohydrates!

Changed to keto- high fat carnivore , low or no sugar carbs, fasting, all decline reversed!Beware: fat metabolism only works long term in context of fasting

      After eating tons of Ice cream and drinking hectoliters of coca-cola, at the 'ripe' age of 60 the doctor told me that I was a candidate for 2 knee replacements. I suffered a panic attack and discovered Paleo & fasting. At 70 I'm studying Japanese & Python programming again. I'm also doing long walks on the beach with my dogs using my own naturally healed knees. I try keto but can't stay there very long. Time to panic once again?

    Another great podcast, Robbie! And what a great guest Bethany was! If you don't mind me picking up on one of your closing questions, I think (or hope!) we will see more multi-modal corpora in the future - as it becomes easier and more practical to collect, process, annotate and search the data. Similar to what you guys agreed on in a way, it's about the tools facilitating new research. This is particular for smaller languages. As international cooperation becomes easier and more commonplace, I think multilingual corpora will be more commonly used. This will likely lead to the practicalities and principles of representativeness being tested in new and fun ways. I applaud your discussion of corpora for AGI and AI tools in general. A dataset, or amorphous blob of data, does not a corpus make! I'm currently working on some stuff in this area, I believe it is really really important. Keep up the great work!

    Yellow fingers (from smoking) are highly ASSOCIATED with lung cancer, but creating a "treatment" for yellow fingers will NOT impact lung cancer. Is amyloid the CAUSE of dementia, or is it ASSOCIATED with dementia? Is it possible that Cell Membrane Damage caused by free radicals, for example by excessive polyunsaturated fat consumption, toxins, air pollution, hypertension, chronic hyperglycemia with tissue glycosylation, statins, damage the cell membrane's and their insulin receptors as well as multiple other receptors and ion channels in cells as well as in the mitochondrial membranes? Essentially, anything that can damage cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes can cause the non-infectious chronic diseases we are plagued with. This can be called the "Unified Theory of Chronic Disease".

    Absolutely shocking how a person who claims to be a dementia expert can say "If there is anything you should take out of this - it's try as hard as you can to get a high-quality sleep". Getting high-quality sleep is nothing like choosing healthy food in the store. Neurodegenerative diseases come with sleep disruptions - it's like telling paralyzed people that to keep their muscles healthy they should walk more. Another group of people with sleep disorders gets them from anxiety, and a threat "sleep well or dementia" is exactly what will help them improve their sleep, no doubt. Nobody chooses to have poor-quality sleep. Sleep disorders are debilitating and in the long run extremely dangerous. And people with sleep disorders are living in terror as it is. But thanks for your kind advice. It's heartbreaking that people in whom should put our hopes for curing dementia demonstrate such utter ignorance.

      @bonni...do you think the red light might help a Parkinsons patient? I do. I'm encouraging people to try these "new" the treatments, as they seem very safe and may help a lot. Red lights not new...we had one to use at my home over 65 years ago. Used it for body pains. Had no idea how it worked back then but I believe in it.
