Weekly grand rounds as a forum for clinical and basic research updates in neurology with respect to diagnosis and management of neurological disorders and advances in neuroscience. General areas of focus will include among others the following: neuromuscular, epilepsy, sleep, movement disorders, stroke and vascular disorders, neurodegenertive, dementia and memory disorders, headaches and cranial neuralgias, autonomic disorders, and general neurologic conditions.
Neurologists and Neuropsychologists as a specialty, including both generalists and sub-specialists.

Also included are basic and clinical researchers and clinicians throughout neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology especially during the monthly interdisciplinary grand rounds presentations.
Discuss deficits of visual processing and spatial cognition as early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and review possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
Review the concept of optic flow as an important visual cue for spatial orientation and discuss how perception of optic flow can be selectively impaired in Alzheimer’s disease.
Discuss optic flow event related potentials as markers of abnormal signal processing and possible predictors of impaired driving capacity in aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
