Abstract
Turner highlights survivorship bias in the study of neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS, suggesting that meaningful progress may require a fundamental shift in focus from the affected to the resilient, and from what is seen to what is not. Neurodegeneration should be viewed as a loss of tolerance as much as a gain of toxicity.
