[Cognitive Labs] Decline in Visuospatial Skills May Presage Alzheimer's

[neurofuture]

Even marine mammals can take cognitive tests

Scientists are finding that drops in combined visual and spatial processing skills can be an effective notification for possible onset of Alzheimer's. Visuospatial skills may be assessed through a combination of exercises that require acuity to detect changes in patterns across a field of view, often with lighted stimuli.
