According to recent studies, as reported in the journal Neurology, it is quite possible that Alzheimer's victims may get lost not because they are confused or can't remember where they've been but because of a kind of physical blindness called "motion blindness." It appears that some Alzheimer's patients are just not getting enough information to their brains to navigate. Consequently, they cannot see where they're going. Many of these patients are blind to the kind of cues most of us absorb unconsciously every day. It is almost as though they are walking around with their eyes closed. The world literally becomes a strange place and the street they've lived on for years becomes unfamiliar.
