Recent tests investigating eye movements and neuropsychological tests as a diagnostic marker for Alzheimer's disease suggest that a future clinical test could be used to detect early disease.

This lecture by Dr Trevor Crawford from Lancaster University will cover the following:

A brief overview of Alzheimer's disease, what causes it and its early signs and symptoms

Limitations of current diagnostic assessments

An explanation of why eye movements can predict neurodegenerative disease

A review of the research methodology and results

An overview of what happens next: what research is still to do, how might a clinical test be developed
