Vision in Alzheimer's disease / volume editors, Alice Cronin-Golomb, Patrick R. Hof.
Visual dysfunction is prevalent in Alzheimer's disease and in related disorders such as posterior cortical atrophy and Down syndrome. The neuropathology of these disorders affects brain areas that process low-level vision as well as higher-order cognition and attention. This volume spans the ra...
