- subcosmos 8y agoNot causal, but important to clear beta-amyloid. We've done some interesting imaging studies in our center @UCSF showing radiolabelled beta-amyloid is decreased with proper sleep and exercise. The direct imaging evidence is convincing. Likely not causal, however, we just know that these two lifestyle factors trigger cleanup processes in your body.
