  1. Visual sensitivity to motion: age-related changes and deficits in senile dementia of the Alzheimer type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Neurology 1991-09-01 Brain scans and imaging

    To determine whether motion sensitivity varies with age, we measured motion discrimination in visual normals 25 to 80 years of age and found that motion thresholds increased linearly with age and were approximately two times higher in those 70 to 80 years old than in participants under thirty.

  2. Abnormal pattern electroretinograms in patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1989-08-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Patients with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type frequently have difficulty performing visual tasks.

  3. Two types of Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles may be found in the hippocampus in senile dementia of the Alzheimer type.
