Course Description
Eye movements provide valuable insight into the functional organization of the brain. In this presentation, Frederick Robert Carrick explores the relationship between oculomotor control and cognitive decline in Dementia. The lecture examines how neural circuits responsible for eye movements interact with broader brain networks involved in attention, memory, and executive function. Participants will review how changes in eye movement patterns may reflect neurological dysfunction associated with neurodegenerative conditions. By understanding the neurological basis of oculomotor control, clinicians can gain additional insight into brain health and cognitive performance. This session highlights how eye movement evaluation can complement neurological examination and may contribute to improved assessment and monitoring of patients experiencing cognitive decline.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand the neurological mechanisms controlling eye movements.
- Recognize how eye movement patterns reflect brain network function.
- Identify oculomotor changes associated with cognitive decline.
- Explore clinical methods used to assess eye movements.
- Apply oculomotor evaluation to neurological assessment of dementia.
