Clinical trials: Navigation, Spatial
Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer Disease
Spatial Navigation for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70 % of all cases. An early, accurate diagnosis of AD will become increasingly important with disease-modifying therapies.
