Our hypothesis is that ageing is, at least in part, caused by the cumulative effect of all the experiments carried out by evolution to improve a species' design.

A crucial component of our method is the comparison between a neuron's output distribution when fed with the actual dataset and a randomised version called the "scrambled dataset."

This approach is in contrast with experimental evidence, which suggests on one hand that traumas of various kind are often present in the anamnesis of patients and, on the other, that the gene variants implicated are shared across a wide range of diagnoses.

The central idea is to i) design a function of the variables that can take different forms depending on a set of parameters, ii) calculate the difference between a statistics associated to the function computed on the data set and the same statistics computed on a randomised version of the data set, called "scrambled" data set, and iii) optimise the parameters to maximise this difference.

The model, which is enriched with ideas borrowed from the field of computer science, leads to a new therapeutic proposal for psychological traumas and personality disorders.
