Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with profound memory deficits. But early cognitive declines that can precede AD may be associated with deficits in *visual perception* – highlighting the importance of not treating the medial temporal lobe as solely a memory system. #neuroskyence#PsychSciSky

Must take all the tests. Only partial indications got my mom’s MD to treat it as early onset Alzheimer’s: Research has recorded slight betterments after 6 months of Aricept (Donepezil) treatment. My mom shocked the system with total recovery after 2, in spite of Hippocampus atrophy.

So important! Neurologists used to say the three As as extra amnestic symptoms - agnosia, apraxia (ideomotor), aphasia. We see all sorts of strange gaze patterns in eyetracking AD during visual object recognition

That sounds really interesting, we may want to discuss the paper in the lab.
