  1. Saccadic Eye Movement in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. Neuropsychology review 2021-05-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered the transitional state to AD dementia (ADD) and other types of dementia, whose symptoms are accompanied by altered eye movement.

  2. Abnormalities of saccadic eye movements in dementia due to Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Aging 2019-08-02 Brain scans and imaging

    The findings revealed that eye-tracking can distinguish between the two forms of MCI.

  3. Inhibitory control of saccadic eye movements and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Biological psychiatry 2005-05-01 Brain scans and imaging

    AD patients have an impairment of inhibitory control and error-correction that exceeds the effects of normal aging and is related to the severity of dementia.

  4. Saccadic eye movement dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1986-10-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Saccades were measured by magnetic search coil technique in 13 patients with Alzheimer's disease and compared with those of 11 age-matched control subjects.
