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.
