New Windows into the Brain: Technological Advances in Frontline Neurologic Diagnosis Via the Visual and Oculomotor Systems

Abstract

The 67th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, Washington, DC, USA, 18–25 April 2015

The 67th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting took place in Washington, DC, in April 2015. The first day of the meeting featured an Integrated Neuroscience Session focusing on ‘Technological frontline visual and oculomotor diagnostic advances in neurologic diagnosis’. The session moderators organized presentations into two categories: visual afferent topics and vestibular/eye movement topics. In this article, we highlight the most important aspects of the research presented.

KEYWORDS:

• eye movement
• neuroscience
• oculomotor systems
• vestibular movement visual afferent system
• visual systems
