Creator Victoria Pelak
Affiliation Neurology and Ophthalmology, University of Colorado
Subject Alzheimer's Disease; Dementia with Lewy Bodies; Eye Clinic Rapid Screening Battery For Visual Cortical Dysfunction; Posterior Cortical Atrophy; Visual Cortical Dysfunction
Description Awareness that neurodegenerative disease (NDD) can cause visual brain dysfunction is critical for early detection and proper diagnosis. However, awareness must be combined with knowledge about visual brain pathways and clinical assessment tools that can be used to identify cerebral visual dysfunction.; This review provides: 1. A brief introduction to higher-order visual brain functions; 2. A brief review of the NDDs that target higher-order visual brain functions; 3. An overview of the Eye Clinic Rapid Screening Battery for Visual Cortical Dysfunction, which an international work group recommended and published in 2023
