Most patients with Alzheimer's disease present with amnestic problems; however, a substantial proportion, over-represented in young-onset cases, have atypical phenotypes including predominant visual, language, executive, behavioural, or motor dysfunction. In the past, these individuals often received a late diagnosis; however, availability of CSF and PET biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease pathologies ... Read more >>

Eye-tracking technology is an innovative tool that holds promise for enhancing dementia screening. In this work, we introduce a novel way of extracting salient features directly from the raw eye-tracking data of a mixed sample of dementia patients during a novel instruction-less cognitive test. Our approach is based on self-supervised ... Read more >>

Recent data-sharing initiatives of clinical and preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) have led to a growing number of non-clinical researchers analyzing these datasets using modern data-driven computational methods. Cognitive tests are key components of such datasets, representing the principal clinical tool to establish phenotypes and monitor symptomatic progression. Despite the potential ... Read more >>

<h4>Introduction</h4>Clinical reports describe patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibiting atypical adaptive walking responses to the visual environment; however, there is limited empirical investigation of such behaviors or factors modulating their expression. We aim to evaluate effects of lighting-based interventions and clinical presentation (visual- vs memory-led) on walking function in participants ... Read more >>

Although posterior cortical atrophy is often regarded as the canonical 'visual dementia', auditory symptoms may also be salient in this disorder. Patients often report particular difficulty hearing in busy environments; however, the core cognitive process-parsing of the auditory environment ('auditory scene analysis')-has been poorly characterized. In this cross-sectional study, we ... Read more >>

Posterior cortical atrophy is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterized by progressive decline in visual processing and atrophy of posterior brain regions. With the majority of cases attributable to Alzheimer's disease and recent evidence for genetic risk factors specifically related to posterior cortical atrophy, the syndrome can provide important insights into selective ...
